Spring in Texas is known nationwide for warm temperatures, fragrant blooms and severe weather. Located smack dab in the middle of Tornado Alley, Texas is the prime location for tornadoes and violent thunderstorms to enact revenge upon your property, whether it be your home, automobile or business. Texas storms have the potential for high winds, hail and flooding rains. If you are affected by spring storms in the Dallas area, there are several steps you can take to ensure that you don’t come out worse for wear.
Stay Informed: Texas storms are famous for popping up out of the blue. The Texas Severe Storms Association works hard to understand dangerous storms so that meteorologists can better predict and track inclement weather. With their help, weather centers in Texas can keep you in the know. The National Weather Service is the best place to find current weather information for all fifty states. Even your local radio or news station will have current weather updates and can offer you assistance through their call-in helplines.
Secure your property: Storm windows, clear gutters and a mess free yard are just a few of the things that may keep you safe during a storm. Trimming back tree branches and bushes can reduce the potential for broken windows and downed power lines. Placing a tarp over your vehicle should help to eliminate or cut down on hail damage.
Contact your insurance company: Before you get caught in a storm, call your insurance agent to make sure you are fully covered. There is no price you can put on your family’s safety, but if you are worried that you will end up paying too much for proper coverage, let Tri Star Insurance Professionals, Inc. of North Dallas, Allen and Frisco show you otherwise. Tri Star carries a wide selection of products such as homeowners insurance and flood insurance intended to keep you covered if you have or may end up suffering from severe storm damage.

Before Texas tornado and hurricane season strikes, make sure you have enough coverage on your insurance policy to give you and your family peace of mind in the event of a storm. Hurricane Ike, the third most destructive hurricane to make landfall in the United States, hit the Gulf Coast with a vengeance leaving thousands of people without a place to live. During the devastation, many people took comfort in the fact that their insurance company would help them get back on their feet after the storm. Sadly, that wasn’t always the case. If you are currently insured with Geico or Farmers Insurance, you may want to rethink your choice of insurance company before you end up down the creek without a paddle.
The aftermath of Hurricane Ike resulted in large payouts and claims that are now being passed on to Geico and Farmers policyholders, even if they did not file a claim. Whether or not you filed a claim against damages suffered from a storm, your rates are getting higher. Is that fair? Tri Star Insurance, which services the North Dallas, Frisco, McKinney, Allen and surrounding areas, doesn’t think so. The whole point of having insurance is to protect you against expensive damage and loss caused by forces out of your control. Why should you have to suffer from rate hikes just because you actually use the insurance you pay for every month?
It’s time to take good look at your current policy and make sure you are getting your money’s worth. If you aren’t sure where to start, let the good people at Tri Star Insurance help you. With over 70 years of combined experience in the insurance industry, the agents at Tri Star know how to bring you the best value, price and service for your money. You have every right to make a legitimate claim on your insurance without getting penalized from insurance companies such as Geico and Farmers. Tri Star believes that when you undergo a loss, especially due to devastation from severe storms in Texas, the last thing you need is to get the runaround from your insurance company.
Tri Star Insurance is an independent agency that works with over a dozen different carriers including Travelers, Hartford and Safeco to locate the most competitive rates. Unlike captive agencies such as Geico or Farmers, they have the ability to shop around to find you a policy that won’t break the bank. For an even greater savings, Tri Star has the same multi-policy discounts as Geico or Farmers. As a member of the IIAT or Independent Insurance Agents of Texas, Tri-Star offers a diverse range of insurance plans at competitive prices.
