Strong Thunderstorms in the Concord Area – What Homeowners Need to Know
This evening, the National Weather Service issued a Special Weather Statement for areas near Concord, North Carolina. A cluster of strong thunderstorms is moving through southeastern Mecklenburg and northwestern Union counties, with radar indicating wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail. Heavy rainfall is also expected, potentially leading to localized flooding and hazardous driving conditions.
Potential Impacts on Homes, Roads, and Events
- Wind gusts can knock down tree limbs, power lines, and even shingles, causing unexpected damage to your home.
- Hail—even at pea size—can dent vehicles, damage outdoor furniture, and bruise asphalt or shingle roofs.
- Heavy rainfall may lead to pooling water on roofs, clogged gutters, and potential leaks inside your home if drainage systems are compromised.
- Transportation: Avoid driving through flooded roadways. Downed limbs or debris can block streets and make travel dangerous.
Local Events Affected
If you’re planning to attend a local outdoor event tonight, it’s important to stay weather-aware. The Queen Charlotte Fair is currently taking place at Route 29 Pavilion and runs through July 5, 2025. Also, tonight’s Wednesday Yoga at Cabarrus Brewing Co. (6:30–7:30 pm) may be impacted by the storms. Always check with event organizers for weather updates before heading out.
Recognizing and Inspecting Roof Damage After Storms
Storms like these can leave behind hidden roof damage. Curious what it will cost to get your roof repaired correctly? Here’s what to look for when the skies clear:
- Shingle bruising or cracking: Hail impacts often leave soft spots or visible cracks.
- Missing shingles or roof debris: Strong winds can strip vulnerable areas of your roof, especially at corners and edges.
- Granule loss: Check your gutters and downspouts for shingle granules, which protect your roof from UV radiation and water penetration.
- Leaking or water spots: Inspect your attic or ceilings for new water stains—an early sign of a compromised roof.
Spot something concerning? Don’t wait—minor issues can worsen quickly, especially with more summer storms on the horizon.
What Should You Do Next?
- Stay indoors until the storm passes and it’s safe to inspect your property.
- Once it’s clear, safely walk around your home and look for visible signs of damage from the ground.
