 LECS is set up for the 2021 TAMIC Convention and Seminar! It is great to be back in Austin after taking a year off during the COVID-19 pandemic.
President, Troy Hansen, will be presenting to the TAMIC members tomorrow about the 2021 Texas Freeze! If you are in attendance, stop by and say hi to Troy and our VP of Claims, Blake Mears.  As of 11:00 am, Hurricane Ida is expected to intensify further now to 120mph before landfall. Pressures are falling and Hurricane Hunters are finding the storm structure is improving. Rapid Intensification is likely tomorrow.
Ida is tracking almost the same keeping LA and some of MS in the cone. Landfall later Sunday... with feeder bands reaching parts of the Gulf coast throughout Saturday night into Sunday as it approaches. Adjusters are on standby and mobilization to Louisiana is planned.  Tuesday evening, Fred became a Tropical Storm with sustained winds of 40 MPH.
Fred is making it's way over the island of Hispaniola today and if it stays intact over this mountainous island, it could re-strengthen quickly due to the warm water around the Bahamas. Leading Edge Claims will continue to monitor Fred as it makes it's way towards Florida. Stay up to date by following LECS on Facebook and LinkedIn or visiting https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/.

Hurricane season is here, and the tropics are already heating up. Since 2008, Leading Edge has continuously deployed both desk and field adjusters to work residential and commercial claims for TWIA and TFPA year-round. In order to be considered for deployment, TWIA requires that you be certified to work their claims.
For 2021, TWIA has deployed a new Learning Management System which is MUCH more user-friendly than the previous Adobe version. You can now choose the self-paced modules or sign up for webinars to be held in June. If you have not already been contacted and/or enrolled in the new system, please contact [email protected] to receive an invite and start the process. Certification Requirements:

 Hurricane Delta has maintained Category 3 strength with winds around 120 MPH. However, shear and cooler waters have started to weaken the storm and this will continue as it approaches the coast this evening. We anticipate Delta to make landfall as a Category 2 along the western Louisiana coast later this evening. Delta’s landfall is projected about 15 miles east of where Hurricane Laura made landfall back in August.
Impacts are starting to be felt along the Gulf coast. Tropical storm force winds will be felt from east Texas to Mississippi. Heavy rain, potentially up to 10 inches, will impact Louisiana with widespread rain into Texas and inland Louisiana up to 6 inches. There is also potential for tornadic activity east of the storm into Mississippi. Our commercial and residential field teams are prepared and ready for deployment. We are still unsure if desk adjuster positions will be needed for Mississippi, as it will be not be affected until late tonight and early Saturday. We will keep those of you on standby informed.
