Living in Austin, you sort of get accustomed to the yearly hailstorm that seems to destroy most of the roofing shingles and automobile windshields in a particular neighborhood - - - while leaving the rest of the area largely untouched? Last year the Milwood area (think Parmer/McNeil) was the unlucky recipient of this annual mess. So with the frequency of this type of event (plus the wildly expensive roof replacements that follow,) it's a no-brainer that hail is clearly the top reason for insurance claims in the Lone Star State, right?
Not so fast - - according the the Texas branches of Allstate Insurance, the #1 offender is good ole' H20. Not the flooding variety, but water damage from non-flood events. Interesting. Check the story out at the link below.
P.S. Who thought dog bites would be so high on the list??? Go figure!
