It was at the beginning of August that a severe storm with thunder, torrential rain and strong winds swept through Western Sweden, causing great damage in Töreboda.
Länsförsäkringar in Skaraborg now receives a large amount of claims, which also P4 Skaraborg reported on.
– It is both big and small. Trampolines that were blown away and hit objects that were damaged. Cars that are damaged as well as damage to properties, then it is mainly roofs where all or parts of the roof have been blown off, he continues.
Another tens of millions
Länsförsäkringar in Skaraborg themselves state that they have 40 percent of the market in Skaraborg. According to Lindholm’s estimate, the total number of claims may amount to between 900-1000.
– It is another number of tens of millions, he says.
The tip: No loose objects
In 2019, there was a hailstorm that blew over Lidköping. At that time, Länsförsäkringar in Skaraborg alone had 2,300 claims that they registered, says the claims manager.
– It is events like this that we see from time to time. Now this one was also very dramatic. There were very strong winds that came and caused major damage quickly, says Ulf Lindholm.
He has a call to the public:
– When you get indications that a storm is brewing, you have to make sure you don’t have any loose objects.
