Homeowners around Oklahoma City know all too well that the weather can be unpredictable and intense.

In this blog, we’ll explore the types of storms that frequently affect our community and what steps you should take if your home is damaged.

Understanding Oklahoma City’s Storm Risks

Oklahoma City sits in the heart of Tornado Alley, making tornadoes a significant threat, especially during the spring and early summer months. These violent storms can bring powerful winds, hail, and even cause widespread structural damage to homes.

In addition to tornadoes, we also face severe thunderstorms throughout the year. These storms can produce large hail, lightning, and flash floods, which can be just as damaging as tornadoes. Hail, in particular, can be devastating to roofs, windows, and siding, leading to costly repairs if not addressed quickly.

What to Do When Your Home is Damaged

If your home suffers damage from a storm, it’s essential to act fast to prevent further issues, such as water damage or mold growth. Here’s what you should do:

1. Assess the Damage Safely Before doing anything, ensure it’s safe to inspect your home. Look for visible damage to the roof, windows, and exterior walls. If the damage is extensive, avoid entering the home until it has been deemed safe by professionals.

2. Document the Damage Take photos and videos of the damage for your insurance claim. The more documentation you have, the easier it will be to process your claim.

3. Contact Your Insurance Company Notify your insurance company as soon as possible. They will guide you through the claims process and may provide recommendations for contractors and restoration services.
