• Category 3 hurricanes, although making landfall typically in the gulf coast or east-central Florida, causes considerable wind and flood damage reaching all the way north to New Hampshire
• Severe ice storms are unfortunately not uncommon in the Northeast. Over $1.4 billion in damages was incurred from the 1998 ice storm that hit Maine, New Hampshire, and New York.
• Flooding is not uncommon in New Hampshire. Floods kill 140 people per year and cause $6 billion in property damage nationwide.

People who call New Hampshire home have learned to live with the threat of flooding, thunderstorms, and severe winter storms (including the notorious nor'easter). Lightning, produced by thunderstorms, injures an average of 300 people each year. In 1995, severe winter weather caused 17 fatalities and $110.5 million in damages.

Many homeowners realize that the safest place to be during a thunderstorm, flooding, or a winter storm is inside the home, but while the family is safe, dry, and warm inside the home, the home's foundation, plumbing, roofing and exterior may be suffering. Blizzards, rain, freezing sleet, dangerous combinations of hi/low temperatures, and wind are all conditions that can damage or even destroy a home.
