What This Thunderstorm Means for Concord and Nearby Areas
Tonight's National Weather Service alert highlights a strong, nearly stationary thunderstorm over Biscoe, with wind gusts that could exceed 30 mph. Areas like Troy, Biscoe, Seagrove, Robbins, Star, Candor, and Steeds are directly impacted, and Concord residents should remain alert since severe weather patterns can shift quickly.
Potential Impacts on Homes and Daily Life
- Roofing Damage: Gusty winds can knock down tree limbs, which could strike roofs or cause flying debris. Loose shingles, cracked tiles, and damaged gutters are common after such storms.
- Infrastructure: Power outages and blocked roads from downed branches are possible.
- Outdoor Activities: If you had plans for outdoor recreation this evening, it’s safest to head indoors. Summer evenings in Concord are perfect for a walk at Frank Liske Park or a family picnic, but tonight is not the night to do so.
Preventative Steps to Safeguard Your Roof During Severe Weather
Worried about how your roof will hold up during this thunderstorm? Here are practical, expert-backed steps you can take before and after the gusts hit:
- Secure or store any loose outdoor furniture, grills, and decorations that could become airborne.
- Trim overhanging tree branches to minimize potential roof impact.
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear, so water can flow freely and reduce pooling on your roof.
- After the storm passes, inspect your roof from the ground for visible damage or debris.
- Look for missing shingles, dented flashing, or granule loss on asphalt shingles—these are signs of wind damage.
