Severe Thunderstorm Forecast: What Concord Homeowners Need to Know
This afternoon, the National Weather Service issued a Special Weather Statement for our region. A strong thunderstorm was tracked just southwest of Huntersville and is moving northeast at 15 mph. Gusty winds up to 40 mph and half-inch hail are possible. Heavy rainfall may trigger localized flooding, so extra caution is advised for all residents of Concord, NC and neighboring communities.
- Hazards: Wind gusts up to 40 mph, half-inch hail, heavy downpours
- Impacts: Damage to trees, minor hail damage to cars and outdoor items, possible power outages, and slick roads due to flash flooding
- Instruction: Avoid driving through flooded roadways and secure any loose outdoor items immediately
How This Storm Could Affect Your Home and Roof
Severe thunderstorms like this can cause unexpected problems for roofs in Concord. High winds might loosen shingles, while hail—even as small as half an inch—can nick, chip, or crack roofing materials, especially on older roofs. Pooling rainwater and blocked gutters add to the risk of leaks or water damage.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
After the storm passes, it’s natural to wonder, "Is my roof still in good shape?" Here’s a quick checklist for Concord homeowners:
- Check for missing, cracked, or curled shingles from the ground
- Look for pieces of shingles or roofing material in your yard
- Inspect gutters for excess granules, which may indicate hail damage
- Notice any new water stains on ceilings or attic walls
- See if flashing around chimneys or vents looks loose or damaged
If you spot any of these issues—or just want peace of mind—consider scheduling a free professional roof inspection. Our team can document storm damage and help you navigate the insurance process, making it as stress-free as possible.
