Whether you live in Portland, Oregon, Beaverton, or other parts of Oregon or Washington, or elsewhere, hail storms don’t last long, but they pack a real punch. Every year, hail causes nearly $1 billion in damages, mostly to repair roofs and cars. A single series of evening storms in North Texas in May of 2011 caused an estimated $200 million to $300 million in damages, according to one estimate.*

You can save hundreds of dollars and hours of clean-up by making sure you understand your homeowners insurance, auto insurance, and other insurance coverage, and taking some precautions, including checking your roof before the next hail storm.
