ROLLINGTONE, Minn. – Most farmers and others who were hit by a tornado eight days ago can’t get their insurance carriers to come to Rollingstone to verify damage for claims — at least not quickly. There aren’t enough adjusters to go around. Rollingstone resident John Guenther told television station KTTC that he contacted his insurance agency right away to file a claim. The response: No adjuster can be available until June 4 – 14 days after the disaster. In Winona, where agent Robert Wunderlich has written a lot of coverage around Rollingstone, he said that adjustors have been stretched thin throughout the region. He pointed to the EF-4 tornado that killed four people and flattened much of Greenfield, Iowa, on May 21. Wunderlich’s advice: “Patience.” The night of the Rollingstone tornado had dozens of touchdowns in southern Minnesota, northern Iowa and western Wisconsin.
