Texas is no stranger to spring & summer storms, especially during tornado season. While most of these storms don\u2019t pack the punch of the more disastrous tropical storms or hurricanes, they can still wreak havoc on your home.<\/p>\n

In fact, storm damage is prevalent from April through July because of the seemingly nonstop barrage of thunderstorms.
