Examples of Wind Damage
Winds can become very strong and pick up objects that are not properly secured. These can then turn into projectiles that further damage other property. It is a good idea to put away outdoor furniture and other moveable outdoor objects if you suspect strong winds or a storm in your area. Wind damage can still occur even with the best preparations to minimize damage, though.
Wind damage will likely happen to a structure, such as your home. For example, wind could cause damage to your roof, such as ripping off shingles and creating portions of the roof that are vulnerable to other elements. Or perhaps the wind caused a side of your house to collapse. Maybe windows or doors were destroyed that now have to be replaced.

Steps to Take After Personal Property Has Suffered Win Damage
Remember, your safety takes priority over any damage to your property. Make sure to get the medical treatment you need and appropriately remove yourself from danger in a wind-damage situation. Then you can worry about assessing the damage to your property.
Similar to other types of accidents or property damages, documentation is key. Document what damage was done to your house by taking pictures or videos of the damaged areas. Be as complete and as thorough as possible with the information you collect.
