Local storm history
Why Montezuma roofs take a beating
The South Atlantic coast lives with hurricane and tropical-storm risk from June through November, while inland areas take severe thunderstorm wind, hail, and spin-up tornadoes. Wind-driven rain intrusion and stripped shingles are the claims that follow every named-storm season. In Montezuma and the surrounding Macon County area, damaging wind and tornadoes damage is most common during the June–November hurricane season. Because storm damage is highly localized, one side of a ZIP can be hit hard while the next street is untouched — a free inspection is the only way to know.

Reporting: Report storm damage to your insurer promptly, most policies require notice 'as soon as practicable' after the loss.
Deadline: The deadline to file and to sue on a property claim is set by your policy and your state's law, and varies widely. Don't wait: read your policy's 'suit against us' / claim-reporting clause and confirm with your state insurance department.
