What’s Happening?
A strong thunderstorm is moving through southeastern Davie and central Rowan Counties, including areas near Salisbury and Cooleemee. According to the NWS, Doppler radar detected wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail. That might not sound huge, but hail and strong winds—even at these levels—can cause unexpected damage to your property, especially your roof. Are you prepared for this kind of weather?
Impact on Homes, Roads, and Outdoor Plans
- Roof & Property Damage: High winds can knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects, threatening shingles and gutters.
- Hail Impact: Even small hail may dent vents, damage shingles, or crack skylights. Minor hail damage can lead to leaks and bigger repair costs if not quickly addressed.
- Transportation: Downed limbs and slick roads can create driving hazards. Give yourself extra time if you must travel.
If You’re Attending Outdoor Events Today
Planning to get outside? Rowan County is hosting the Rowan Master Gardener Propagation Workshop on June 25 at the old Extension Center on Old Concord Road. This event is happening rain or shine, so if you’re attending, keep an eye on the weather and consider rescheduling outdoor work until after the storm passes.
If you’re looking for other ways to enjoy summer outdoors in Concord, local parks and greenways like Dorton Park and Frank Liske Park are popular spots for walking and recreation—just be sure to wait out severe weather and always seek shelter during alerts.
Preventative Measures: Minimize Roof Damage Before Storms Hit
- Trim back tree branches near your roof to prevent impact from falling limbs.
- Secure patio furniture, grills, and loose outdoor items to prevent windborne damage.
- Inspect your gutters and downspouts to make sure they are clear—clogs can worsen water damage during heavy rain.
- Check for loose or missing shingles and arrange repairs before storms arrive.
