What’s Happening?
Doppler radar indicates a nearly stationary thunderstorm near Seagrove, about 10 miles south of the North Carolina Zoo. Residents in Seagrove, Robbins, Star, Harpers Crossroads, Highfalls, and Steeds should be aware of the following storm hazards:
- Wind gusts up to 50 mph – Powerful enough to knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured outdoor items.
- Half-inch hail – Potential for minor hail damage to vegetation.
- Torrential rainfall – Increased risk of localized flooding; never drive through flooded roadways.
Local Impact: What To Watch For
Severe weather like this can mean trouble not just for traffic and outdoor plans but also for your home’s roof and exterior. High winds and hail may loosen or crack shingles, damage gutters, and cause water leaks that aren’t immediately visible. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly after a storm? The answer often depends on the extent and type of damage, which can be hard to spot from the ground.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
- Check for missing, broken, or curled shingles from a safe vantage point.
- Look for dented gutters or downspouts, which often signal hail impact.
- Inspect your attic or ceilings for signs of water leaks or dampness.
- Notice any debris collected on the roof or in gutters after heavy wind and rain.
If you’re unsure or spot anything concerning, play it safe—avoid climbing onto the roof yourself. Instead, request a free professional inspection. Our experts can document any damage and help guide you through the insurance process if repairs are needed.
