Tornado Season Has Arrived!

In the South, tornado season typically occurs from March through May, similar to the rest of the U.S. However, tornadoes can happen year-round, especially in certain areas like Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

  • March to May: This is the primary tornado season in the South, with April and May being the peak months for tornadoes in many of these states. Warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico meets cooler, dry air from the north, creating conditions conducive to severe storms.
  • Summer (June to August): Tornadoes can still occur, but they are typically less frequent in the South during these months. However, tropical storms and hurricanes can also bring tornadoes to the region, especially along the Gulf Coast.
  • Fall (September to November): Tornadoes are still possible, particularly with remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes, which can often spawn tornadoes as they move inland.

Tornadoes in the South are often associated with severe thunderstorms and can happen quickly, so it’s important to stay alert, especially during the peak season in the spring.

Why You Need Flood Insurance!

Let’s take a moment to clarify some common misconceptions about flood insurance and explain why it’s essential, regardless of where you live.

  • “I don’t live in a high-risk area, so I don’t need flood insurance.”
Flooding can occur in low – to moderate-risk areas as well, nearly 20% of flood claims come from these regions. It’s important to remember that floods are not confined to high-risk zones.
  • “Federal disaster assistance will cover me.”
Disaster assistance is not always guarenteed and typically comes in the form of loans that must be repaid. In contrast, flood insurance offers a direct payout, helping you recover without the burden of debt.
  • “Flood insurance is too expensive.”​​​​​​
Flood insurance is actually one of the more affordable types of coverage. In many cases, it can be less expensive than auto or home insurance, making it a wise investment for your peace of mind.
