The trail of destruction left by the UK's largest storm of the year has led insurers to anticipate a spike in claims. One provider has already reported a 70 percent increase in claims, according to London's City A.M. Last week, Storm Doris lashed the country with rain, snow and winds of more than 100 mph. Buildings and contents insurance firm Together Mutual estimated claims would average at about £700 ($870), while Aviva said it has already seen a 300% increase in phone claims. The UK's farmers were also badly affected, with farm insurer NFU Mutual saying it expects over 1,000 claims.
