Protecting Your Home from Lightning
Lightning strikes can be a threat to both property and public safety, causing nearly $1 billion in property damage in the United States each year and claiming dozens of lives.1
Although summer is the most likely time for lightning, it can strike anytime there is a thunderstorm. Lightning generates intense heat that can surge through electronic circuits, burn through plumbing and set structures ablaze2, according to the Insurance Information Institute (III).
Mrs. DeMarco's Class Visits
Today we welcomed Carol Ann DeMarco’s 2nd grade class from Mechanicville Elementary School to our offices this morning. The class was on a field trip to Mechanicville to visit various businesses in the Community. They came to the Connors Agency to learn more about the concept of insurance and business in general. Patrick Culligan recently completed teaching a business class to the students for 5 weeks as a volunteer for Junior Achievement. Junior Achievement is dedicated to bringing the real world to students and opening their minds to their potential. We would like to thank Carol Ann and the Mechanicville Elementary School for the opportunity to continue to help educate the class!
