What This Thunderstorm Means for Concord Residents
The National Weather Service has issued a Special Weather Statement for our area tonight. As a strong thunderstorm tracks eastward at 25 mph, wind gusts up to 40 mph are possible. Gusty winds like these can knock down tree limbs, scatter unsecured outdoor items, and—importantly—put your roof at risk for damage.
Wondering how this might affect your plans? If you’re headed to the Queen Charlotte Fair at Route 29 Pavilion, which opens today and runs through July 5th, or participating in Concord’s community board game night outdoors, be sure to keep a close eye on the weather and seek shelter if conditions worsen. Safety should always come first—especially during unpredictable summer storms.
How Wind Gusts Can Damage Your Roof
Even wind speeds of 40 mph are enough to loosen or remove shingles, dislodge flashing, and send debris onto your roof. Over time, repeated exposure to gusty winds can weaken roof integrity, introduce leaks, and increase repair costs. Have you noticed missing or curling shingles after past storms?
Preventative Measures You Can Take Today
- Secure or store loose outdoor furniture and decorations
- Visually inspect your roof for any obvious signs of wear or pre-existing damage
- Trim back overhanging branches that could fall during a storm
- Make sure gutters and downspouts are clear to help prevent water buildup
If you’re attending any local outdoor events this evening, double-check that your home is storm-ready before you leave. Curious about how to spot early signs of roof damage? Or want to know how much repairs might run after a storm like this?
