Severe Thunderstorm Alert: What Concord Homeowners Need to Know
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for our area this evening. A strong thunderstorm is tracking south from Statesville and is expected to impact communities throughout central North Carolina, including Concord. The alert calls for wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail—strong enough to knock down tree limbs and potentially cause minor hail damage to outdoor objects, like furniture, vehicles, and, most importantly, your roof.
Local Outdoor Events Affected
If you're planning to head out tonight or tomorrow, be aware that outdoor activities could be disrupted by severe weather. For those attending the Queen Charlotte Fair at Route 29 Pavilion in Concord (June 19–July 5) [details here], or outdoor yoga at Cabarrus Brewing Co. (June 25, 6:30pm), organizers may pause or cancel events for safety. Always check event updates before heading out and prioritize your safety by seeking shelter indoors when storms are forecast.
How Storms Like This Can Impact Your Roof
Even storms that aren’t officially “severe” can cause noticeable roof damage. Wind gusts up to 40 mph can lift and loosen shingles, especially if your roof is older or already showing signs of wear. Pea-sized hail, while small, can cause bruising to asphalt shingles or dent soft metal like flashing and gutters. Curious what it will cost to get your roof inspected or repaired if you spot damage? Don’t wait and wonder—acting quickly can prevent further issues like leaks or structural damage.
Supplementary Topic: How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
- Check for missing or curled shingles: Look for visible gaps or uneven edges on your roof from the ground.
- Inspect gutters and downspouts: Are they dented, clogged, or full of shingle granules? This can signal hail or wind damage.
- Look inside your attic: Wet insulation or water stains on rafters are early warning signs of roof leaks.
- Examine flashing and vents: Bent or missing materials around chimneys and vents leave your home vulnerable.
