Global warming affects home insurance
Global Warming Affects Home Insurance | Insurance Quotes & Rates Articles
Quote:
Last years storms were a prime example of this. During 2007 more then 1.5 million British homes’ roofs were damaged due to high winds, which caused £4.5 billion of damage. The report undertaken by Halifax Home Insurance quoted the average cost of wind damage reached £2,800. Damaged gardens, sheds and destroyed garden furniture were all claimed on owners’ home insurance policies.
Wind damage can often lead to future costs if homeowners do not take immediate action.
Climate change will increase the number of dangerous weather conditions, and homeowners need to prepare for future storms by evaluating the existing home insurance. Even with the damaging recent storms, 36% of homes are not insured. Advice has been given for homeowners to prepare their homes by securing lawn furniture, and checking, trees, gutters, tiles and roofs. They should also ensure they are adequately insured for any foreseeable problem. (more)

So global warming caused high winds, which caused damage to roof tops.
Sure, that's believable.
