Local Events Affected by the Storm
Planning on getting outside tonight? The Sounds of Summer Concert Series is scheduled for July 17 in downtown Concord.

How Storms Like This Can Impact Your Roof
Even a brief but strong storm can cause lasting damage to your roof. Wind gusts of 40 mph may loosen shingles, while pea-sized hail can chip away at protective granules. Heavy rain increases the risk of leaks, especially on older roofs or those with existing weak spots. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly after a storm? Here’s how you can assess the situation safely:
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Storms
- Look for missing, cracked, or curled shingles from the ground—avoid climbing onto your roof without proper safety gear.
- Check gutters and downspouts for an excess of granules, which signal shingle wear.
- Inspect ceilings and attic spaces for new leaks, water spots, or musty odors.
- Notice any dented flashing or exposed underlayment at roof edges or valleys.
- After hail, look for visible dings on metal components such as vents or roof flashing.
