Storms are weather phenomena that are beautiful in their own
way, but, at the same time, they can be dangerous. Statistics of the Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration show that the US witness about 100,000
thunderstorms every year, and Chicago is not an exception.
Bad storms can cause significant damage, in many ways. The
good thing is that they can be predicted; the bad thing is that the damage
cannot be predicted, so it is important to know what you can expect from a
storm and take the necessary precautions to minimize the damage.
Flooding
Bad storms typically bring large amounts of rain that flood
basements; in some situations, water comes up through floors or penetrate roofs
and windows. Regular insurance policies do not cover everything related to this
type of damage, so you should consider a better policy if you want to be fully protected.
Strong wind
Winds of high speed are dangerous. They take out shingles
and other roof elements, burst window frames, put branches and trees to the
ground or make different things fly and cause other types of accidents.
Hail
Hail is a destructive phenomenon, causing damage at many
levels, to buildings (roof, siding, windows...) and vegetation alike.
