Why Erie County roofs take a beating
The Mid-Atlantic sees powerful wind events year-round — nor'easters and winter storms in the cold season, severe thunderstorms and the remnants of Atlantic tropical systems in summer and fall. Wind-stripped shingles and tree damage drive most claims here. Erie County's roughly 946,147 residents, concentrated around Buffalo, are most exposed to wind and nor'easters — and the denser the housing, the more a single wind event can flood the claim funnel at once.
