A few months ago, one of the biggest streamers on twitch, XQC, was forced to move from his own bought house to a different location because the swatting was so frequent. I can't imagine the stress caused by this and the feeling of leaving your newly bought home.

Thankfully, he said the SWAT team was kinda chill and after a few times they knew it was going to be a fake, so every time they just did a routine check-up around the house.
