Does Home Insurance Cover Damage Caused By A Tornado?

Numerous unforeseen life events can happen in a year, one of which is tornadoes. Whether you live in a "tornado alley" or not, it is best to be prepared for any damage from a tornado once it hits the area where you reside.

During these times, you might only want to pay for some of the expenses to fix your house. Generally, a standard homeowners insurance policy may cover you in tornado damage for rain, fallen trees, wind, house structure damage, or even molds. Additionally, home insurance may aid you in paying for tornado-related home repairs, such as damages to the garage, broken fences, kitchen, appliances, etc.
​Does Home Insurance Cover Damage Caused by a Tornado?
Your home insurance may compensate for the damages to your house and personal property during a tornado. Also, suppose you wish to live in other places, like hotels, while your house is renovating due to tornado damage. Home insurance may help you with additional expenses, including hotel and restaurant fees.

Here are four home insurance coverages:

Dwelling Coverage 
The physical structure of your house is protected under the dwelling coverage, making it an essential policy in your home insurance. For example, the dwelling coverage should cover the cost of your home reconstruction if your house is damaged by a tornado caused by a fallen tree or wind.

Parts of your home, including flooring, garage, walls, roof, sinks, and showers, are also protected by dwelling coverage.

Other Structure Coverage 
Other structure coverage protects your property detached from your homes, like fences, mailboxes, and decks. The damages in your house may be paid by structure coverage, much like dwelling coverage.

Personal Property Coverage 
Aside from your house, your belongings can also be damaged when a tornado strikes your neighborhood. Your personal property, such as clothing, jewelry, picture frames, and other items, may be paid for damages by your home insurance.

Loss of Use Coverage 
When your home is under reconstruction, the best option is to rent a room until your home is fully repaired. Under the loss of use coverage, your home insurance should cover all of your additional fees, such as hotel bills, laundry bills, daily meals, etc., 

Conclusion 
Your home should be compensated for any tornado-related damages as long as you have insurance. Home insurance can protect you financially in case unexpected events occur, so it is wise to talk to an agent as soon as you can to obtain a policy for your home.
