What Should Homeowners Be Concerned About?

Severe thunderstorms like today’s can have a serious impact on local homes and infrastructure:

• Roof Damage: Even pea-size hail and 40 mph winds can loosen or crack shingles. Repeated hits can lead to leaks or weakened roofing systems over time.
• Falling Limbs: Gusts strong enough to knock down branches can also damage gutters, siding, and—most importantly—your roof.
• Flooding: Torrential rain may lead to ponding water around your foundation or in low-lying areas, increasing the risk of water intrusion.
• Transportation & Power: Downed limbs and standing water can create hazardous driving conditions and possible power outages.

Supplementary Topic: How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms

Curious what storm damage looks like? After conditions have cleared and it’s safe, do a quick visual inspection—no need to climb up yourself.

1. Walk around your home and look for missing or curled shingles, dented gutters, or obvious gaps.
2. Check your attic or ceilings for new water spots or dampness.
3. Look for shingle granules in your gutters or downspouts—these are a telltale sign of hail impact.
4. Notice any debris or limbs sitting on your roof? This can hide impact points, so it’s worth a closer look by a professional.

If you spot anything suspicious, don’t wait—minor issues can turn into major headaches fast.
