- Pea size hail may cause minor damage to shingles, gutters, and other outdoor surfaces.
- Torrential rainfall could lead to localized flooding—avoid driving through flooded roads and be alert for water intrusion in basements or crawlspaces.
- Frequent lightning is a hazard, even miles from the storm. Take shelter indoors or in a vehicle.

Preventative Measures to Minimize Severe Weather Roofing Damage

- Trim overhanging tree branches to minimize the chance of limbs falling and causing roof or structural damage.
