Strong Thunderstorms Bringing Gusty Winds & Hail to Concord – What Homeowners Need to Know
Heads up, Concord! The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for our area this evening. Radar is tracking a line of strong thunderstorms moving north at 15 mph, with wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-sized hail possible. These storms are impacting parts of northeastern Cabarrus County—including Concord, Kannapolis, and surrounding communities—through 8:45 PM EDT tonight.
Potential Impacts for Local Residences and Activities
- Roof and Property Damage: Gusty winds can knock down limbs and send unsecured outdoor items flying. Even small hail can dent gutters, damage shingles, or crack skylights.
- Power Outages & Transportation: Downed limbs and debris may disrupt local roads and power lines. Stay alert if you need to travel.
- Outdoor Events Impacted: If you’re planning to attend the Vegan Vibe Music Festival- Caribbean at Gibson Mill (1:00 PM, Concord) or Justin Moyar Live at Rocky River Vineyards (Midland), please monitor the weather and consider seeking shelter when storms approach.
Recognizing and Inspecting Roof Damage After Storms
After severe weather like this, it’s smart to check your roof—even if you don’t see immediate leaks. Curious what to look for?
- Shingle Damage: Look for missing, curled, or cracked shingles, especially on windward sides of your roof.
- Hail Marks: Check for small dents or bruises on shingles, metal flashing, gutters, and vents. Hail can be as small as a pea and still cause lasting damage!
- Gutter Debris: Excess granules from shingles or visible dents in your gutters can signal hail impact.
- Attic Leaks: Water stains or damp insulation in your attic may point to roof punctures.
