Filing a claim for this date

That was 70 days ago, which is well inside the window most policies allow for reporting a loss, but prompt notice is a condition in nearly every policy. Use August 4, 2026 as the date of loss only if this is the storm that hit your home; your carrier will check weather data for your address.
