Snow, ice, wind, and rapid temperature changes
Michigan’s emergency-preparedness guidance identifies tornadoes, thunderstorms, floods, snowstorms, and ice storms among the state’s severe-weather hazards. For property insurance, the useful questions are specific: whether the policy covers the roof at replacement cost, how the wind or hail deductible works, what happens after an ice dam or burst pipe, and whether a long power outage creates food spoilage, equipment, or business-income losses.
