The Storm Prediction Center recently received reports of of downed trees blocking Highway 14 in Elmore County. The SPC is also reporting a probable EF0 tornado touched down near Brandon, Mississppi in Rankin County.

Policyholders who experienced property or auto damage as a result of the storms are encouraged to make temporary repairs to prevent additional damage. Additional post-storm recovery tips include: 

• Retain receipts from purchases related to temporary repairs to include with any claims.
• Inspect vehicles for damage as quickly as possible after a hailstorm. Claims costs are generally covered for customers with comprehensive coverage on their policies, but customers with basic liability will be responsible for all repair costs. 
• Disaster victims are prime targets for insurance scams. Be wary of unsolicited or unexpected offers to perform repairs or conduct inspections.
• Contact the state attorney general’s office with reports of suspected fraud, looting or price gouging.
