Insurance Claims Piling Up After Texas Storm

(Undated) — Texans who made it through the winter storm and the resulting power and water outages are now filling out stacks of insurance paperwork.

Texas residents have already filed tens of thousands of insurance claims since last month’s storm. The Insurance Council of Texas says it expects that number to swell into the hundreds of thousands.

The storm reportedly could end up being the costliest in the state’s history, even more so than Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
