Strong Thunderstorm in the Region—What Concord Homeowners Need to Know
Tonight’s National Weather Service alert warns of a strong thunderstorm tracking near Harmony and northwest Rowan County, moving northeast at 20 mph. While the primary impact area is just west of Concord, these weather systems can shift—so local residents should pay close attention and take precautions.
- Wind Gusts: Up to 40 mph
- Hail: Up to half an inch diameter
- Torrential Rain: Potential for localized flooding—never drive through flooded streets
Potential Impacts for Concord: Homes, Roads, and Infrastructure
What does this mean for you? Gusty winds can bring down tree limbs, damage shingles, or loosen gutters. Hail—even at half an inch—can dent metal elements, crack older shingles, and cause issues for skylights or vents. Torrential rain heightens the risk of leaks, especially if your roof has pre-existing weak spots.
Commuters and anyone traveling should watch for debris and possible flooded roadways. Power outages are also possible if winds bring down tree limbs onto power lines.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
Once the weather passes, a quick roof check can save you money and stress down the road. Need help knowing where to look? Here’s what to watch for:
- Visible shingle damage (cracks, curling, or missing pieces)
- Loose or dented gutters and downspouts
- Hail impact marks—look for soft spots or round divots on shingles
- Debris (branches, leaves) that may have caused subtle punctures
- Water spots or dampness in your attic/ceilings
