Did you know?

MOST HOME INSURANCE POLICIES DO NOT COVER FLOOD DAMAGE. MAKE SURE YOUR ASSETS ARE PROTECTED. CALL YOUR HOME INSURANCE AGENT TODAY AND REQUEST FLOOD INSURANCE PROVIDER SOURCES IF YOUR HOME IS NOT PROTECTED.

​

Did you know that America is the most severe weather-prone country on Earth? 

It’s true! But you can take steps to be ready to withstand any kind of inclement weather this spring. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are a few of the common weather dangers for Mississippians.

Severe thunderstorms are defined as storms capable of producing hail an inch or larger or winds above 58 miles per hour. Hail from these storms can be larger than a softball and winds can reach over 100 miles per hour. Tornadoes, lightning, and flash flooding are all possible hazards that can develop when severe thunderstorms occur. 

​

Take time now to get ready for severe weather:

  • Pay attention to the local weather forecast and know what weather terms mean.

  • Review your severe weather safety procedures and plan.

  • Know the safest place to be if severe weather arrives.

  • Have multiple ways to get weather warnings.

​

Do you know the difference between a watch and a warning? In a watch, severe weather is possible, and you should be on the lookout and be prepared. In a warning, severe weather is happening or about to happen, and you should take shelter.
