Storm Details and Local Impact
This fast-moving thunderstorm brings wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph and pea-sized hail. While the alert specifically highlights Davie, Iredell, and Rowan counties, Concord could also experience similar weather as systems move across our region.
- Wind Impact: Gusts this strong can easily knock down tree limbs, damage shingles, and create flying debris hazards.
- Hail Risk: Even small hail can dent metal roofs, crack shingles, and cause minor but costly damage.
- Infrastructure Concerns: Downed limbs may disrupt power and block roads; gutters and downspouts may become clogged, leading to water pooling on rooftops.
Public safety tip: If you’re outdoors, seek shelter inside a sturdy building until the storm passes.
Local Events and Outdoor Plans
Planning to attend the Mocksville Cruise-In or the Movies in the Park: "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" tonight? Both events are scheduled for June 14th and could be affected by severe weather. Organizers may delay or cancel outdoor activities if conditions become hazardous. Always check official event pages for the latest updates and have a backup indoor plan.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
After the thunderstorm passes, you may wonder: Did my roof take a hit? Here’s what to look for before calling in a professional:
- Visible Shingle Damage: Look for missing, lifted, or cracked shingles—especially after hail or strong wind gusts.
- Granule Loss: Check for excessive shingle granules in your gutters or downspouts. This is a sign of hail or abrasion damage.
- Leaks or Water Stains: Inspect your attic and ceilings for new water spots or drips.
- Damaged Flashing or Roof Fixtures: Metal flashing and vents can become dented or dislodged by debris and hail.
