Late summer can be a stressful time for homeowners.

Most years, hurricanes threaten the U.S. East Coast while wildfires and floods often plague the west. And tornadoes remain a concern throughout much of the country's midsection.

All that means it's prime season for homeowners claims too, as residences often bear the brunt of all this wild weather. It's also a good time for agents to help clients double-check coverages to make sure they have enough protection in place should the worst happen to their homes.
