In the San Francisco Bay Area, we’ve gone from an emergency drought declaration to lots of rain filling our reservoirs to between 80 and 92% full. Some of the rain came in storms that brought high winds, taking down trees and damaging roofs. This month, we’ll be looking at how Allstate Insurance handles homeowner claims.
You’ve probably seen their great commercials about all the different types of insurance claims Farmers handles. In fact, a damaged or destroyed roof might seem rather mundane. But, as their commercials and website convey, they know it can be very unsettling for the homeowner to set right.

But no one ordered what the NY Times called, the bomb cyclone and atmospheric river event, as two storms converged, creating winds that looked more like a Category 4 hurricane.
