Damage from hail stretches from vehicle windshields and sunroofs to gutters, windows, and roofs on homes. In 2021, the average homeowner claim totaled more than $12,000 and the average auto claim came in right at $5,000.

“The time to prepare is now,” said Gina Wilken, State Farm Public Affairs Specialist. “Call your insurance agent and review your coverage. After a hailstorm is not the time to find out your coverage is outdated.”

If weather conditions are likely to produce hail you can take steps around the home like moving cars, boats, RVs, lawn and patio furniture into a covered area.

Personal safety is a number one priority and if you are indoors when a hailstorm hits, stay there. Hail can shatter windows so close drapes, blinds or window shades in an attempt to reduce the amount of broken glass that might blow inside. Stay away from skylights and doors.
