Tornadoes strike with little warning and massive force—ripping roofs off homes, shattering windows, flattening entire structures, and scattering personal belongings over blocks or even miles. In just seconds, your home can go from safe to unrecognizable. While most standard homeowners policies do cover wind damage from tornadoes, the path to a full recovery is often far more complicated than expected.
Insurers may question whether damage was tornado-related or the result of pre-existing wear, improper maintenance, or non-covered causes. And when belongings are scattered across the property—or gone entirely—proving what was lost and what’s salvageable can become an emotional and logistical nightmare. On top of that, many policies include specific windstorm or tornado deductibles, as well as coverage gaps for detached structures like garages, sheds, fences, or barns.
At Loti, we step in immediately to bring clarity, organization, and momentum to your tornado claim. We help you secure your home, document every aspect of the loss, and present a clear, defensible claim that reflects the full scope of what was destroyed—not just what’s easy to verify.
OUR APPROACH
Tornadoes—Fast Destruction Requires Faster, Smarter Claims
Capture detailed photos of damage to your home, roof, windows, fencing, landscaping, and detached structures
Document the storm’s wind direction, debris paths, and where items were displaced or destroyed
Secure the property as soon as possible—boarding windows, tarping roofs, and preventing additional damage
Request your full policy and clarify any windstorm or tornado-specific deductibles and sublimits
Begin creating a personal property inventory—room by room—even if items are missing, scattered, or unidentifiable
Key Steps We Help You Take After A Tornado:
We also coordinate with engineers, contractors, and meteorologists as needed to support your claim with expert findings—proving cause of loss, estimating repairs, and tying each expense to the right part of your policy (dwelling, other structures, contents, debris removal, and more).
At Loti, we bring structure to chaos. From the first hours after the storm to the final payout, we manage the details, eliminate delays, and fight to ensure your tornado recovery is full, fair, and fast.
