Jim has hit the nail on the head. Another area that all of the major

wouldn't file a claim today unless the entire house was damaged so
essentially I am only insured against a total loss. Even then if you
read
the details of an insurance policy, the claim rules change significantly.
Most of these changes (e.g., change in the deductible for peril against a
named storm)
Named Storm: Does that now mean the new policy of naming winter storms
removes them as well?
The naming of winter storms is peculiar to "the Weather Channel" as a
marketing strategy. The National Weather Service/NOAA does not name
winter storms. Winter storms are not like hurricanes and typhoons which
follow a distinct path, etc. You'll note that they don't name tornadoes.
