The Rising Tide of Hail

Violent hail storms have undeniably been on the increase in both intensity and frequency around the globe as a direct result of the approaching Planet X, aka Nibiru.

 

"We warned at the start of ZetaTalk, in 1995, that unpredictable weather extremes would occur and increase on a lineal basis up until the pole shift. Where this occurred steadily, it has only recently become undeniable. ZetaTalk, and only ZetaTalk, warned of these weather changes, at that early date." ZetaTalk: Weather Extremes

 

Where many of these extreme weather events have been reported on ZetaTalk and the ECAPS ning, an astonishing escalation of insurance claims for hail and wind damage across North America since 2008 further corroborates the Zetas' predictions.

 

Hail Damage Doubles in 2011

Hail-related damage claims for auto insurance more than doubled in 2011 compared to the average filed between 2008 and 2010.

By 2012, hail damage had jumped 84 percent from 2010 and constituted the predominant insurance claim across the U.S.

Hail Claims Rise 84% in 2012

"Insurance claims from hail damage have increased an astounding 84 percent since 2010, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau.  While homeowners filed the greatest number of claims, auto policy claims are rising at the fastest rate, more than six times greater in 2012 than in 2010."

In 2013, insurance companies started raising policy premiums, increasing deductibles and even incorporating exclusions for damages caused by hail and wind.

 

Hail Damage Sends Kansas Insurance Premiums 20% Higher (April 2013)

Homeowners insurance companies in Kansas filed last year for rate increases that averaged 14.6 percent, with some companies filing for more than 20 percent.  And that came on top of an average increase of 6 percent the year before.

The companies attribute the increase largely to the high amount of hail, wind and tornado damage claims in recent years that are affecting the rates.

“There has been a tremendous amount of wind and hail damage,” said Steve Witmer, spokesman for American Family Insurance.

For three of the past four years, Farmers Insurance set new records for claims, said company spokesman Luis Sahagun. Losses in 2011 were an 82 percent jump over the previous worst year.

New Deductible for Hail, Wind Damage in Ohio (July 2013)

Insurers, hit with a rapidly growing number of claims caused by storms over the past five years, are starting to ask homeowners to pay a separate deductible for wind and hail damage that is higher than they are used to paying for claims.

“Over the last five years, catastrophic wind and hail storms have led to historic numbers of claims to help people repair damage to their homes. The frequency and severity of these storms have made it necessary for us to make changes to our homeowners’ deductible.”

 

New Hail And Wind Exclusion for Insurance Coverage (April 2013)

The "Cosmetic Damage Exclusion" for hail and wind damage, excludes payments for damage to exterior surfaces including walls, roofs, doors and windows from hail or wind if the storm impacts the appearance but not the function of these elements.

The American Association of Insurance Services (AAIS), an organization that develops policy forms used by more than 700 property and casualty insurance companies, created this new exclusion for insurance companies that have been hit hard by storm losses over the past decade.

Since 2008, U.S. insurers have paid 4.5 million hail claims totaling $32.1 billion, according to Verisk Underwriting.

"Is this as bad as it will get, prior to the pole shift when hurricane force winds will sweep the Earth and every region of the globe will emerge with a new climate and geography? Has the lineal increase we predicted in 1995 reached its climax? We are not here with good tidings, nor were we here with good tidings in 1995."  ZetaTalk

Students, teachers and staff at Lovett Elementary School in Clinton had to move into the old Eastside Elementary campus after a severe hailstorm shattered windows, destroyed the school’s roof and flooded hallways and classrooms, leaving the building inoperable.

“There was no way we could hold school here. The baseball-sized hail perforated the roof so badly that there were leaks in every classroom.”

The National Weather Service confirmed that the hail in Clinton was the third largest on record to hit the state since records began back in 1950.

2 Feet of Golf-Ball-Sized Hail Hammers Colorado (Aug 22)

Up to golf ball-sized hail pounded the southern Denver metro area Thursday evening, accumulating so much at the intersection of Chatfield Avenue and Shaffer Parkway that it trapped at least one car and closed Chatfield for a time.  

A teenage driver was stuck in the hailstorm as he was talking to him mother on his cellphone.

"The water just takes my car rushing up over the hood and was like, 'Mom, I gotta go,'" said Bryndon Jackson.  "I was forced to open the door and all the water came rushing in and I knew I had to get out of there quick."

His car filled with water and hail and is likely totaled.

The county used a snowplow to open the road about an hour later.

Other areas experienced flooding from the heavy rains, including Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch and Ken Caryl.

The Ute Pass corridor of Highway 24, west of Manitou Springs, also experienced flooding and Highway 24 was closed as a safety precaution early in the evening, then flood sirens sounded in Manitou Springs as a surge of water came down into Fountain Creek at about 9:15 p.m.

Thanks @Howard,

great compilation of the evidence in the uptick of extreme weather events related to Hail. One thing to keep our eye out for going forward relates to this passage:

From Zetatalk on November 27, 2011

During any catastrophe causing loss of homes and businesses and crops, insurance companies routinely go bankrupt. In recent years they have tried to buffer their loses by refusing to insure homes for flood insurance if in flood plains, or refusing to insure homes for quake damage if in earthquake zones. If necessary in order to support business in the region, polices will be written but will become worthless when a disaster hits. The insurance executives take their retirement funds and run away, leaving their clients bereft. Governments, who must attempt to repair infrastructure, will do little to help those who have lost all. Those insurance companies not affected will continue as before, and those who were wiped out will make no apologies.

At what point in the near future do the insurance companies just refuse to pay out or go bankrupt and the people are left picking up there pieces themselves! The time is close because one would think it relates to the pending announcement from Obama

[S.V.]

Amazing and thanks for the compilation of evidence.
