Tonight's storm could significantly impact the Concerts in the Park event scheduled in Davie County. Outdoor attendees are encouraged to monitor weather conditions closely and prioritize safety by seeking shelter if necessary.
Preventative Measures for Your Home
Protecting your home, especially your roof, from severe weather is crucial. Consider these proactive steps to minimize potential storm damage:
- Secure or store outdoor furniture, decorations, and equipment indoors.
- Trim branches close to your roof or windows to prevent damage from falling limbs.
- Ensure gutters and downspouts are clear to efficiently direct rainwater away from your home.
- Inspect your roof regularly for loose, missing, or damaged shingles.
Post-Storm Roof Inspection and Repair
After the storm passes, inspect your roof for signs of damage. Look for indicators such as:
- Shingles that are missing, cracked, or curled.
- Hail indentations or dark spots.
- Leaks or water stains on interior ceilings and walls.
- Damaged flashing around vents, skylights, and chimneys.
