Date of Alert: July 9, 2025
The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a Flood Watch for central North Carolina, including Concord and Cabarrus County, effective from July 9, 2025 at 3:25 PM EDT through July 10, 2025 at 2:00 AM EDT. With more heavy rainfall expected, it’s critical for residents to stay alert, protect their homes, and prepare for potential flooding—especially after recent storms have already saturated the ground.
Why This Flood Watch Matters for Concord Homeowners
Flooding from excessive rainfall can cause major issues, especially in low-lying neighborhoods and areas with poor drainage. Local creeks and streams—already running high from the remnants of Chantal—could quickly overflow with more rain coming. This impacts not just roads and transportation, but also local homes and businesses. Have you considered how your roof holds up under these conditions?
Severe Weather & Your Roof: Prevention Tips for Heavy Rain
Is your roof ready for torrential rainfall? Preventing leaks and water damage starts with smart preparation, especially during a Flood Watch. Here are practical steps you can take today:
- Clear gutters and downspouts: Remove debris to ensure water flows away from your foundation.
- Check for loose or missing shingles: Heavy rain can exploit even small weaknesses, leading to leaks.
- Trim overhanging branches: Prevent falling limbs during thunderstorms from damaging your roof or clogging gutters.
- Inspect attic and ceilings for water stains: Early detection means faster repairs and less costly damage.
- Secure outdoor furniture and equipment: Prevent windblown items from striking your home or roof.
