Potential Impacts on Concord Area Homes and Infrastructure
This storm's gusty winds and hail present significant risks to your property. Winds of this magnitude can easily break branches, topple trees, and blow unsecured items around your yard. Minor hail damage, particularly to roofs, siding, and vehicles, is also possible. Ensuring your home's exterior is secure is crucial to minimizing damage.
Preventive Measures to Protect Your Roof
As your local roofing experts, we recommend homeowners take the following preventive steps to minimize storm damage:
- Inspect and secure loose shingles and roofing materials.
- Clean gutters and drainage systems to prevent water backup and leakage.
- Trim overhanging branches that could break and fall onto your roof.
- Bring indoors any lightweight outdoor furniture or decor.
Recognizing Roof Damage After the Storm
Once the storm passes, carefully inspect your roof for signs of damage. Look for missing shingles, dents, or bruising from hail, and ensure gutters haven't been displaced or blocked. If you notice any damage or are uncertain about the condition of your roof, contact a professional immediately for a thorough inspection.
Local Outdoor Events to Consider
If you're planning to attend local events such as the Alexander County Summer Concert Series featuring Dirty Grass Soul on June 7, make sure to check the latest weather updates and ensure these events have not been affected or rescheduled due to weather conditions.
