Princeton businessman Randy L. Jennings criticized his homeowners insurer for canceling his policy after two trees fell during a heavy ice storm on December 5, 2002. The storm toppled about 50 trees on his property, damaged a neighbor’s mobile home and fence, and a pine limb broke a power box. The insurer treated the incidents as two claims totaling 5406 dollars, and later sent a non renewal notice in August.
