Why West Virginia sees so many storm claims
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. Across West Virginia's 55 counties, the roofs most exposed to hurricanes & tropical storms and wind see the heaviest claim volume during the June–November hurricane season.

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.
Deductibles: Many policies in storm-prone areas use a separate wind/hail deductible, a percentage (commonly 1%–5%) of your dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page.
General information, not legal advice — verify with Your state's Department of Insurance (search '[state] department of insurance storm claim'). For the full picture, read our claim time limits by state and roof deductibles guides.
