Tornado Damage

Tornadoes aren’t something you usually think you must worry about. Typically, you think they mostly occur in places like tornado valley, but they can happen all over the country. In 2024 Michigan has had a total of 11 tornadoes so far, that may not seem like many but the overall property damage that these caused totaled over 50 MILLION Dollars. Overall, the state has had over 1200 recorded tornadoes causing over 1.3 billion dollars!

The most common ways homes get damaged by them is when the wind pushes up shingles and water is allowed to enter the home, or when flying debris damages gutters or siding when they make impact. Trees are also known to uproot and fall onto homes causing holes in the roof.
