there are plenty of claims at this point in time, last year after the May 1 flooding it took about 1 month to get the adjuster from State Farm Ins to look at my jeep

State Farm will sometimes set up a "drive-through" damage inspection for areas that have widespread hail damage. Don't have a clue about Allstate.
There is a definite shortage of adjusters this spring due to the widespread damage in just about every state east of the Rockies. Think of the numbers of adjusters in Alabama alone. There are the ones that work for the insurance companies and the public adjusters that work for the property owners. I wouldn't trust any insurance company at this point in time.

has an adjuster been out to look at your damage yet? has an adjuster even called to schedule an appointment? i have allstate for my auto.they called sunday and told me they have no clue when they will get back with me to look at the trucks i have farm bureau for my home owners.they took my information but i have yet to hear from them. ive discovered a roof leak but was able to get it sealed up and a crack in my truck window keeps getting worse but they cant tell me when they will get around to me 
Not to make "light" of your situation...but Allstate's new tornado damage commerial, said that they have gave over 12k teddybears to children.

Called Insurance Co. Thursday, went to Tenn Collision for a guestimate and had to park a block away. Went back first thing Friday and got appraised, they said I could leave it and they could start in the next couple of days, but there were no rentals to be had in this town. Soooo, I'm scheduled for June 7th. Now cn any of you guys tell me about Paintless Dent Removal? That's how they will "Suck" out the 3000 dents on my car, I am very skeptical.

Redwing, the dentless repairs are mostly pushed out from underneath. If there is too many of the dents, it's less expensive to replace the panel. That has been my experience anyway.

We have AllState and they have already been out and done their estimate which was 1/3 of what a body shop estimate is. We filed our claim on Thursday of last week and they were here on Tuesday.

My mother in law has Farm Bureau and they have told her that an adjustor will not be coming out, to just take pictures of everything the best you can and bring it to the agents to take care of.

most comapanies have drive-thru service now for your autos. I called my claim in last Thursday and hadnt heard from anyone so I called them this morning and they told me about the drive thru service. Being an agent I know how busy these guys/gals are right now because of how many claim calls our office took. There is no telling how many 100s of millions of dollars of damage that hail storm did.

Right now adjustors have more work than they can handle. From what I'm told, there isn't a rental car available in east TN. We filed a bunch of claims through our office. If the hail storms had hit Anderson County, we would still be filing claims.

Destroyed a moible home we lived in while remodeling our house. I went by Farm Bureau Thursday morning, they were out taking pictures around lunch. Friday morning around 0900 a guy came by ask a few questions and said all I need now is a table or something to write this check on. Paid the full amount of the policy in less than 36 hours from the tornados touch down. Thats why Im insured with Farm Bureau.
