What Affects Rates in Georgetown
- A December 2021 tornado touched down southwest of Stamping Ground in Scott County, and Georgetown lies within the same exposure corridor.
- Scott County recorded 26 thunderstorm wind events in five years, with September 2024 winds reaching 51 mph and downing multiple trees across the county.
- February 2022 ice accumulation of 0.2–0.3 inches brought down a dozen trees countywide and caused road closures and power outages.
- Scott County's median home was built in 1998, meaning many Georgetown roofs are approaching or past the 20-year asphalt shingle replacement threshold.
- Kentucky tornado activity peaks in December, April, and May, aligning replacement projects to finish before April reduces spring storm exposure.
