COVERING THE DAMAGE
Rain and windstorms can cause massive destruction.
According to the City of San Diego, in the past 24 hours, city emergency dispatch recorded 348 calls of downed or damaged trees.
If there’s damage to your home or your car it can open up a complicated process with your insurance company.
The California Department of Insurance says most property insurance covers damage from rain and windstorms, but there are many exclusions and limitations contained in the policies that are unique to a windstorm.
