Following the devastating EF-3 tornado that struck the Fox Cities on July 27, 2026, businesses across Appleton, Fox Crossing, Neenah, and Menasha faced significant challenges rebuilding damaged properties, restoring operations, and navigating insurance claims. In a feature published by Insight on Business, McClone Insurance leaders Dillon Holewinski and Dustin McClone shared their perspectives on the complexities of commercial property insurance and the importance of preparing for unexpected losses.

President and CEO Dustin McClone highlighted the importance of ordinance and law coverage, which can help address additional expenses when rebuilding damaged properties to meet current building codes.
The article reinforces the value of proactive risk management and carefully structured insurance programs while highlighting the resilience of Fox Cities businesses and the community's ongoing recovery efforts.
