The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement at 8:17 PM EDT for Southern Mecklenburg, Southwestern Union, and Southeastern York counties. A strong thunderstorm, currently near Rock Hill, is heading east at a speed of 25 mph. Residents should prepare for wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail until approximately 8:45 PM EDT.
Potential Impacts on Your Property and Infrastructure
Strong winds and hail can be problematic, causing damage to homes, vehicles, and outdoor structures. Specifically, roofs may be vulnerable to losing shingles, sustaining punctures, or suffering from other minor damages. Tree limbs could be knocked down, leading to potential blockages in roadways and damage to power lines, impacting local infrastructure and transportation.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
After the storm passes, it's crucial to inspect your roof for possible damage. Here are some steps you can take:
- Visually inspect your roof from the ground for missing or dislodged shingles.
- Check gutters for granules from shingles, indicating hail damage.
- Examine your attic and ceilings for signs of leaks or water intrusion.
If you notice any signs of damage, it’s important to have a professional inspection immediately.
Local Events and Recommendations
In light of today's weather, local outdoor events, such as the York County June 2025 summer events, could be affected. Please confirm event statuses on official websites and stay safe.
