Today at 6:07 PM EDT, the National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg issued a Special Weather Statement about a strong thunderstorm near Indian Land. While the most impacted areas are in south-central Mecklenburg County, Concord residents should remain on alert—severe storms can quickly shift and bring sudden hazards to our community.
Storm Details and Timeline
- Issued: June 27, 2025, at 6:07 PM EDT
- Potential Expiry: Through 6:30 PM EDT (and possibly beyond if the storm lingers or intensifies)
- Hazards: Wind gusts of 50–55 mph, half-inch hail, torrential rainfall, cloud-to-ground lightning, and minor flooding
- Impacted Areas: Indian Land, Pineville, South Charlotte, and nearby communities
Why This Alert Matters for Concord Homeowners
Storms of this severity threaten more than just outdoor plans—they can mean real risks for your home. Wind gusts over 50 mph can tear shingles loose, damage gutters, and even lead to structural leaks. Half-inch hail, while smaller than golf balls, can still dent soft roof materials, crack skylights, and bruise asphalt shingles. Torrential rain can overwhelm drainage, causing water to pool on your roof or leak into your attic.
Are you attending or hosting an outdoor event this evening? Birkdale Village's Live Under the Oaks Music Series is happening from 6:00 to 8:00 PM in nearby Charlotte. Storm conditions may affect this event—check local announcements and prioritize safety. Another big outdoor draw tonight is the Kansas & 38 Special concert at Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre at 6:15 PM. If you're headed out, monitor the skies closely and move indoors at the first sign of threatening weather.
How to Inspect for Roof Damage After a Storm
After the threat passes, it's smart to check your property for signs of storm damage, especially:
- Shingles: Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles—high winds can lift and even tear them away.
- Hail Impact: Check for small dents or bruises on shingles, gutters, and metal fixtures. Hail as small as half an inch can create weak spots.
- Gutters & Downspouts: Inspect for dents, blockages, or separations.
- Attic & Ceilings: Look inside for leaks, water stains, or damp insulation.
- Debris: Remove branches or blown-off roof materials from your yard—these are clues to potential roof damage above.
