Storm season is here—and if you think a little wind or hail means a brand-new roof, you might be in for a rude awakening.
In this episode of Insurance Gone Wild, Dennis and Stephanie break down what really happens when storms hit your home, your car, and your insurance policy. From wind vs. hail claims to the frustrating truth about partial roof replacements, they unpack the biggest misconceptions homeowners have during storm season.
They also dive into why your neighbor getting a new roof means absolutely nothing for your claim, how cheap shingles can cost you thousands later, and why flood risk is way more common than you think—even in the middle of the city.
Plus, they cover real-world scenarios like lightning strikes on vehicles, wind-blown debris damage, and the one thing you should always prioritize over your property when things go sideways.
If you own a home, a car, or frankly… anything—this episode will save you headaches, money, and possibly a massive insurance mistake.
