Why This Flood Watch Matters for Concord Residents
Today’s Flood Watch from the National Weather Service is a serious warning for everyone in Concord and across Cabarrus County. Excessive rainfall—already topping 4 inches in some places—will continue today and tonight. Heavy, repeating thunderstorms could bring another 2 to 5 inches of rain, risking fast-developing, dangerous flash floods through 2:00AM.
What does this mean for you and your home? Flooding can quickly impact local residences, block major roads, and damage public infrastructure. For homeowners, this is a critical time to take action to protect your property and ensure your family’s safety.
Local Outdoor Events Affected by the Weather
If you had plans for outdoor fun today, it’s best to stay weather-aware. The Father's Day Beef & Bourbon at the Strain event wraps up today at Southern Strain Brewing Company & The Eatery in Concord, but any outdoor activities should be closely monitored for possible delays or cancellations due to weather. If you planned to join a Hiking Concord Meetup this evening, check for status updates and be cautious—flash flooding can develop rapidly, even in areas that appear safe.
Storm Impact: Protecting Your Roof Before and After Heavy Rain
Did you know that heavy storms like today’s can cause hidden but costly roof damage? Prolonged, intense rain can:
- Overwhelm gutters and downspouts, leading to roof leaks or water pooling
- Cause shingle granule loss, making your roof more vulnerable to the next storm
- Reveal loose or missing shingles, cracks, or flashing issues that worsen with each downpour
Once it’s safe, take a few minutes to visually inspect your roof from the ground. Look for missing shingles, debris piles, or signs of water stains along exterior walls and ceilings inside your home.
