Georgia's Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John W. Oxendine said he estimated that violent weather across Georgia last month caused more than $50 million in insured losses, with more than 6,000 homes damaged.
“Our preliminary estimate today is more than $50 million in damage across Georgia,” said Oxendine. “That figure may rise as new claims are reported. I've been commissioner for 14 years, and I don't recall ever seeing damage spread across the whole state like this.”
The Commissioner sent consumer service personnel to storm-damaged communities to get a first-hand look and offer help to affected citizens. “I've directed my staff to make every effort to work with consumers and help them through this difficult time,” he said.
