The Southeastern United States was hit hard by a series of storms in the last days of November 2022, with Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia taking the brunt of the damage.
When you’ve been a part of a natural disaster like this, it’s vital that you take action to protect yourself and your property. That’s why Disaster Insurance Claims is providing important information about the damage caused by these storms, as well as steps you can take to help get the most out of your insurance claim
Assessing the Damage
These deadly storms brought heavy rainfall and flash floods, leaving tens of thousands of residents without power, and parts of Mississippi saw hail as large as 2 inches in size. These destructive forces caused significant damage to homes, businesses, and infrastructure across the region.
The combination of these factors has made the recovery process difficult and challenging for people in the region, with many of our neighbors still struggling to pick up the pieces of their lives after these storms.
Central Alabama was one of the areas hardest hit, with ten tornadoes recorded in that area alone. The devastation of these tornadoes in Alabama, unfortunately, resulted in two fatalities as a family home was struck by a fallen tree.
