Seems my Allstate insurance adjuster didn’t want me to fully repair my damages. I faxed $4500 in estimates from contractors and my Insurance adjuster graciously gave me only $3200 to repair my damages. I wonder how many other people in the community got short changed by their Home Owners Insurance.How would Allstate react if I didn’t send in a full payment on my policy? In this day and age of Corporate corruption, I also wonder if the Insurance company is lining their pockets on my claim money?

Ok, rather than assume I called and ask. Hamilton’s estimate of cost is higher because unlike other jurisdictions they have a city owned electric utility. Cost for the utilites damaged in Hamilton were $1,037,000.00 of their total cost.

The sheriff claims $38,500 in cost related to the storm, that’s one expensive load of ice he delivered to his friends and neighbors in Libery Township.

My thanks to all those who worked hard, for long hours, to restore our power & remove the debris!

Hamilton may have gotten the most damage as most of the area is older, high density housing, surrounded by old trees. The older trees were more likely to have had some dead, or weak spots that were vulnerable to the stresses of the high winds. Many of the trees that we saw down had significant, preexisting termite damage.
I would also suspect that the personal claims in Hamilton will be higher, as many areas of Hamilton have no off street parking options.

Do you think the damage number in Hamilton is highest because the city owns all of the utilities? I would be willing to bet that Duke’s bills are higher. People shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
