Flood Watch for Concord: Stay Alert and Prepared
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for Concord and surrounding areas of central North Carolina. From 1 PM EDT this afternoon through this evening, flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible. Heavy showers and thunderstorms could result in 2 to 3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, increasing the risk of flash flooding in low-lying and flood-prone locations.
What Does This Mean for Local Residents?
- Street Flooding: Poor drainage areas and roadways may quickly become hazardous. Avoid driving through standing water.
- Property Risks: Basements, crawl spaces, and ground-level rooms are at increased risk—especially if you’ve experienced water intrusion before.
- Infrastructure: Power outages and transportation delays can occur. Be sure outdoor electronics and valuables are secured.
Are you prepared to act quickly if local rivers or creeks suddenly rise? Monitoring local alerts is crucial—especially during ongoing storms!

Post-Storm Roof Inspection: What Homeowners Should Know
After heavy rain or flooding, roof damage might not always be obvious, but early identification can save you money and stress. Wondering what to look for after today’s storms?
- Visible Leaks or Water Stains: Check your ceilings and attic for new spots or drips.
- Loose or Missing Shingles: Walk around your home’s exterior—do you notice any shingles out of place?
- Gutter Overflow or Blockage: Heavy rain can force debris into gutters, leading to overflows that damage roof edges.
- Sagging or Warping: If you spot any sagging areas on your roof or ceilings, that’s a sign of potential structural damage from water saturation.
If any of these signs are present, schedule a free roof inspection as soon as possible. Fast detection can help document issues for insurance claims and prevent further costly damage.
