Stormy weather FAQs

Updated: May 31, 2022

The weather forecast calls for stormy weather. You have everything from fresh milk to batteries and bottled water. But are you really insured against the storm?


The typical Homeowners Policy provides coverage to your home and other structures under an open perils policy, giving coverage for your loss unless a listed exclusion applies to the cause of loss. And while most policies cover wind damage, they only cover water damage that is a direct result of rain entering though a wind-damaged area. Huh?


We’ve put together a list of frequently asked questions, FAQs, that address most common situations. If your "What if...?" isn't listed, we'd love to hear your question.


Fallen trees

NOTE: These FAQs assume you have a standard, unendorsed home insurance policy, form HO-3. Most Acacia Insurance clients enjoy superior coverage, so be sure to contact us with specific details before assuming the limits of your coverage.
