Texas Hurricane Insurance

Hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30. Since 1980, hurricanes have caused more damage than any other weather-related event and have cost an average of $21.5 billion per event. The NOAA has already predicted another active, above-average hurricane season for 2023. The time to prepare is now. One of those preparations for those living in regions affected by hurricanes is making certain that you have the proper insurance in place before it’s too late. Many insurers won’t write new policies once a storm has developed, and a standard home insurance policy won’t cover all hurricane-related damages. 

What is Hurricane Insurance?

Hurricane Insurance is not a stand-alone policy but rather the proper combination of policies that cover you from a hurricane’s two most devastating elements: wind and water.

hurricane insurance equals home insurance plus windstorm/hail coverage plus flood insurance

Flood Insurance: Flood coverage is not included in your homeowners insurance policy; therefore, for full protection against floods caused by long periods of rain, heavy rain, storm surges, blocked storm drainage systems, or levee dam failures, you’ll need a flood insurance policy

quick tip: most flood insurance policies come with a 30 day wait period.

Windstorm Insurance: Windstorm insurance covers direct damages to your home and property caused by wind and/or hail. The coverage includes damages from windstorms such as hurricanes, tropical storms, tornados, thunderstorms, and other natural disasters. Some private insurers offer wind and hail coverage, but for those who have been denied coverage from them, homeowners can turn to Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA). Be sure to check your home insurance policy to ensure you’re fully covered against the harsh winds hurricanes can produce. 

How Much Is Hurricane Insurance in Texas?

The average cost of full hurricane insurance coverage in Texas is about $2,214 per year among TGS Insurance customers; this average includes homeowners insurance, flood insurance, and windstorm coverage written at a 2% deductible.

Hurricane Insurance FAQs

Does homeowners insurance cover hurricane damage?

No, not completely. The two most destructive elements of a hurricane are wind and water. To be fully protected from a hurricane, residents in Texas will also need to add a windstorm/hail policy and a flood insurance policy in addition to their homeowners insurance policy.

Does renters insurance cover hurricane damage?

No, similar to homeowners insurance, a renters policy will need to be supplemented by flood insurance and a windstorm/hail policy to be fully covered from a hurricane.

Are hurricane insurance and flood insurance the same thing?

No. Flood insurance covers your home and personal belongings against water damage caused by flooding, including high tides, hurricane storm surge, heavy rain, and other sources of natural flooding. Hurricane insurance includes flood insurance in addition to homeowners insurance and windstorm/hail coverage.
