Do you guys contact your insurance company or a roofing company first for hail damage? Besides missing shingles I don’t know what I’m looking for.

Call them now, get the claim started immediately. Worked wonders for my parents when their garage caught fire before Thanksgiving.

What government agency is responsible for the tornado sirens? We didn't hear them at all when they went off. Wondering what the petition process is to get one added.

Usually the sheriff’s office in a rural county. If there is not a warning system, contact your city council, county supervisors and your local Emergency Management Coordinator. Chances are your local government is still sitting on a pot load of unspent covid money that they might be able to use.

Feel terrible for those who have to deal with property loss and damage...no fun! Feel worse for those who have to deal with injury or loss of someone they care for or about! But wow...they started talking about this 3 or 4 days ago...amazing science!
