Rising Tornado Threats Driving Up Home Insurance Costs

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that 288 tornadoes have already occurred in the U.S. this year, despite tornado season just beginning. The increasing frequency and destructiveness of these storms are leading to rising home insurance costs in affected areas, nearing the rates seen in hurricane and wildfire-prone regions. As extreme weather intensifies, homeowners in these high-risk areas may face both soaring insurance premiums and declining property values.
