Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner John W. Oxendine said he estimated that violent weather across Georgia over the weekend caused more than $50 million in insured losses, with more than 6,000 homes damaged.
“That figure may rise as new claims are reported,” Oxendine said. “I’ve been Commissioner for 14 years, and I don’t recall ever seeing damage spread across the whole state like this.”
The Commissioner sent consumer service personnel to storm-damaged communities on May 12 to get a first-hand look and to offer help to affected citizens.
“I’ve directed my staff to make every effort to work with consumers and help them through this difficult time,” Oxendine said.
