To our friends in Central Illinois: If the weather forecast is correct, we could be in for some rough weather this afternoon and into tomorrow morning. If we get the predicted high winds and hail, it is very likely that we will see the "storm chasers" show up within hours. They will start going through neighborhoods knocking on doors in an attempt to convince people they have storm damage. In my 50+ years of the insurance business I have never seen a single legitimate roofer/contractor that needs to go door-to-door looking for business. If you get the storm chasers show up at your place, send them packing. They are scammers! Do not sign ANYTHING with them, do not let them on your roof, do not engage their services. If you think you have actual storm damage, call one of the long-established local roofers/contractors. Better yet call your insurance agent and get advice before you start a claim.
