Radar estimated hail up to 1.20 inches in North Georgia on June 17, 2022, with three quarters of an inch or more in 7 counties, around Atlanta, Covington, White, Monticello.

Many homeowners policies require notice of a loss within a set period and limit lawsuits to a set period after the loss, so check your policy before assuming an older storm is still claimable.

Using this date on a claim

Your date of loss should be the day the storm actually hit your address. If two storms came close together, the policy and the evidence decide whether that is one claim or two, so document both. Read how to choose a date of loss.
