🌪️ Hurricane Season Starts Today – Are You Prepared?
Forecasters are predicting a below-normal 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, with 8–14 named storms expected between June 1 and November 30. However, 3–6 of those storms could become hurricanes, and 1–3 may reach major hurricane status.
While Tennessee may be landlocked, we're not immune to the effects of hurricanes. Storms making landfall along the Gulf Coast or Atlantic Coast can bring heavy rain, flooding, and damaging winds to our area, impacting homes, businesses, and families across Tennessee.
As hurricane season begins, now is the perfect time to review your insurance coverage and make sure your policies still meet your needs. One of the most important protections homeowners can consider is flood insurance.
💧 Did you know? Just one inch of water in the average-sized home can cause more than $25,000 in damage.
While we can't prevent flooding, we can help you prepare financially before disaster strikes. Whether you're interested in purchasing flood insurance, renewing an existing policy, or simply reviewing your coverage, our team is here to help.
