If you live near a hurricane-prone area, it is important to have hurricane insurance. If you don't, you may have to pay an additional deductible. These deductibles are subject to change by state but typically range from 1% up to 5%. In some states you have the option to select a higher percentage or a flat rate.
Hail
Hail damage insurance payouts depend on the extent of hail damage assessed by the insurer and your policy limits. Insurance companies may require that you pay a deductible before they will pay for any damage. Most homeowner insurance policies will include a minimum deductible.
Backup from the sewer

Additional living expenses
Additional living expenses coverage can be added to your homeowner's policy if you are displaced by a hurricane. This coverage pays for hotel and rent as well other living expenses.
Wind-driven waters
Wind-driven water is an additional peril that may be covered under a policy for hurricanes. It is often listed in the policy's description of water perils. Wind-driven rain is not usually covered by policies. Insurers may not cover wind-driven rainfall because it is a different form of flood damage.
Storm surge
A storm surge refers to water being pushed onto land by high winds in a hurricane. The storm surge, when combined with normal tides, can cause catastrophic flooding in coastal areas. Although storm surge is seldom excluded from property policies, there are many disputes regarding its coverage.
