Where the rubber meets the roador what to do if you have storm
claims
Storms do happen & when they happen here (and we ALL knock on
wood) we need to know what to do. Denise Butler has great article on
this subject available on The Butler Agency website. Check with your
agent for your policy specifics AHEAD OF TIME. Above all, heed the
advice of authorities for your safety. Have an escape plan ready. Keep
your gasoline tank full & cell phones charged. Use this link to read the full
article.
