Cliff Williams / The Outlook Many trees were downed throughout the areas as Tallapoosa County residents started to make insurance claims Monday on damage suffered during the weekend storms.
Tallapoosa County residents endured scattered damage to homes, cars and property Sunday after straight-line winds tore through the area. The devastation ranged in severity but insurance agents have been working nonstop to file claims and take care of clients as quickly as possible.
“We have been insanely busy and we’re just blessed it wasn’t any worse,” said State Farm agent Karen Channell. “Personally I have dealt with more than 250 clients and seen severity across the gamut from trees in the middle of houses to blown off shingles.”
