Make sure to check the venue’s latest announcements and be prepared for potential weather delays.

How Severe Thunderstorms Can Affect Your Roof
Strong winds and hail—even as small as peas—can loosen shingles, dent metal panels, and damage flashing or gutters. Not sure what to look for? Here’s how you can recognize and inspect roof damage after a storm:
- Check your yard and driveway for shingle pieces or granules washed away by rain.
- Look for visible dents on gutters, downspouts, or metal roof components.
- Examine ceilings and upper walls indoors for new water stains or drips – these can signal roof leaks.
- From the ground, look for uneven shingle lines or roof sections that appear lifted or curled.
