OKLAHOMA INSURANCE COMMISSIONER / From the desk of Glen Mulready
When we hear the words “storm season,” our first thoughts are typically of the springtime, when tornadoes and severe weather are common. Though we associate April, May and June with storms, we cannot let our guard down during our second storm season: the fall. The Oklahoma Insurance Department (OID) and I want to remind you of how you can prepare and safeguard yourself and your family from our state’s perilous weather.
Our second storm season occurs from September to November. During these months, we see a return of favorable conditions for severe weather when the seasons change, as cold air from the north clashes with warm air from the south. The risks are far from minor, just last year, the National Weather Service reported 36 tornadoes in November alone.
