What Does This Mean for Concord Residents?
While Concord is just outside the core path, storms like this often sweep into our area with little warning. Gusty winds of 40 mph can knock down tree limbs and send unsecured outdoor items flying, posing risks to homes, vehicles, and – most importantly – your roof. Power outages and blocked roads are possible when trees or branches come down unexpectedly, making travel hazardous and potentially damaging infrastructure.
Local Events at Risk During the Storm Window
- Juneteenth Celebration Block Party in Huntersville – June 19, 2025, 6-9 PM. If you're attending this outdoor event, be extra vigilant. Sudden wind gusts are a safety concern for tents, displays, and personal items. Seek shelter if the weather intensifies.
- Catawba County Juneteenth Celebration – June 19, 2025. Outdoor festivities may be affected by the approaching storm. Check event updates and use caution if conditions worsen.
Preventative Measures to Minimize Storm Damage to Your Roof
Worried about how this storm could impact your home? Here are key steps you can take right now:
- Secure or bring inside patio furniture, grills, umbrellas, and lawn decor.
- Check gutters and downspouts for clogs so water can flow freely away from your roof and foundation.
- Trim overhanging branches if you haven’t already – limbs can break and cause serious roof and property damage.
- Close windows and doors to prevent water and wind from getting inside.
- Make note of the storm’s timing so you can inspect your roof for missing shingles or damage after it passes.
Why Quick Action Matters
Roof damage from high winds can be subtle at first but may lead to leaks, water stains, or even structural issues down the road. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly, or if insurance might help? Don’t wait for issues to worsen. Acting quickly can minimize repair costs and make the insurance process smoother.
