A tornado spawned essentially on top of my house in June and applied enough torque to fuck up my foundation. One corner of my house is coming off now. I’m fighting my homeowners insurance to cover it and I have a foundation expert coming out tomorrow to give me estimates for the costs of repairs. My cousin from ohio knows all about real estate, so he gave me and my mom so many tips for how to get the insurance to cover it. I requested a new adjuster for a second opinion yesterday and one should be contacting me next week.
This whole thing has me freaking out and more severe storms have rolled through and made it worse. The whole right side of my house has shifted on top of the one corner coming off. Found more cracks in the wall of the finished basement today. We had a crazy storm yesterday, which probably cause the cracks.
To answer the title question… many years ago I experienced a polar vortex that caused about a 100 degree temperature drop in less than 24 hours, that was pretty fun.
To address the body of OP, I would start taking important things out of the house and storing them somewhere safe… but I would think more storms = more damage = more likely the insurance cant deny you.
That’s a crazy temp drop omg. And I’m already packing up important nonessentials to store at my parents’ place. This week is supposed to be good weather-wise until Wednesday, then we’re getting more storms. I’ve gotten like 10.5 inches of rain in the past month alone. The retaining wall beside my house is starting to bow and crack because the ground is expanding so much from the rain. There’s just no drainage for this much water. I’m also on a hill, so I’m not even getting the worst of it all. Most of the water rolling down the road misses me entirely.
