Icicles hang from a San Antonio city limit sign along the access road of Interstate 10 and Ralph Fair Road on Wednesday.Winter storms can cause all sorts of damage to homes, such as broken windows and holes in roofs from falling trees, as well as damage to vehicles.
Richard Johnson, a spokesman for the Insurance Council of Texas, said Texas has seen 16,000 claims for home damage and roughly 3,500 auto claims filed as a result of the severe winter weather from Tuesday and Wednesday.That’s far fewer than from winter storm Uri in February 2021, when half a million claims were filed statewide, Johnson said.
The Dallas Fort-Worth area received the brunt of the impact — more so than San Antonio — with power outages and tree-related claims. Once the danger of a storm has passed and everyone is safe, the first thing experts recommend doing is to document damage that needs repair in photos and videos before filing a claim.
