If you’re planning on heading out, double-check local closures and take extra caution on the roads around Concord and nearby Charlotte communities.
Outdoor Fun in Concord—But Watch the Weather!
While there are no specific outdoor events listed for today, summer in Concord is prime time for family picnics at Frank Liske Park, or walking the trails at Dorton Park. If you’re considering a day outdoors, keep an eye on the sky and be ready to move activities inside as soon as thunder rumbles nearby.
Recognizing and Inspecting Roof Damage After a Storm
Worried about how this thunderstorm might affect your home? Here’s what you can do right after a storm:
- Inspect From the Ground: Walk your property and look for missing shingles, damaged gutters, or debris buildup.
- Check Attics & Ceilings: Look for water stains or leaks inside that may indicate Leak Detection & Repair.
- Examine Roof Fixtures: Skylights, vents, and chimneys are common weak points for hail and wind damage.
- Use Binoculars: If it’s safe, scan your roof for bruised or dented shingles, especially after hail.
