When living in a region that has unpredictable weather, it is important to pay attention to the weather reports in order to prepare your family and home for potential damages. If you do not take the proper precautions beforehand, your property could experience severe damages and worse financial loss. Don’t put your loved ones in this position and instead, make sure you have the right coverage and emergency plans set in place.

In the beginning of the month, there was a tornado watch sent out for the local area, which was later cancelled. Although residents may have dodged high winds, there were other types of threatening conditions left behind, causing thousands of residents to go without power. At one point during the line of severe thunderstorms, there were over 8,000 Central Hudson customers without power, with 1,790 being in Dutchess County and 4,099 in Ulster County. In addition, many homeowners reported updates of downed wires, trees, and poles.

The tornado may not have hit the community, but it still had an influence in terms of destruction. Did you lose power during this time? If so, you may have experienced spoilage of food, loss of water supply, or even flooding. At Hickey-Finn & Co, Inc, we want you to know that our agents are here to support you during this difficult situation. Rebuilding after a natural disaster is hard to do alone and without protection. Therefore, having a reliable coverage package for your property may give you the peace of mind you need to continue moving forward.
