Strong Thunderstorm Impacts and Local Outdoor Events
The NWS has issued a special weather statement for southeastern Catawba, northeastern Lincoln, and southern Iredell counties, including areas near Concord, NC. A slow-moving thunderstorm is producing wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail — enough to down tree limbs, scatter unsecured outdoor items, and cause minor hail damage to property.
Are you planning to attend any of Concord’s great outdoor events today? Here are two happening right as this weather threat moves in:
- Sounds of Summer Concert Series – Downtown Concord, June 28, 6:00–9:00PM
- Greater Charlotte Gem & Mineral Show – Cabarrus Arena, June 28, 10:00AM–6:00PM
If you’re headed to these events, please keep a close watch on the sky and be prepared to seek shelter if conditions worsen. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from a parent thunderstorm—if you can hear thunder, you’re close enough to be at risk.
What This Storm Means for Concord Homeowners
Gusty winds and pea-size hail may sound minor, but they can cause surprising damage to roofs, gutters, and siding. Even a brief storm can loosen shingles, dent metal components, or create leaks that go unnoticed until the next rain.
Wondering how to spot potential roof damage after a storm like this?
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After Thunderstorms
- Check for missing or curled shingles – Wind gusts can pry up asphalt shingles, leaving your roof exposed.
- Look for hail impact marks – Pea-size hailstones can leave small pockmarks or bruises, especially on softer roofing materials.
- Inspect gutters and downspouts – Dents or displaced sections often point to hail strikes or wind damage.
- Scan the attic – After the storm, check for water stains or drips that may indicate new leaks.
Always use caution—if you suspect significant damage or spot something you’re unsure about, it’s safest to schedule a professional inspection. We offer free inspections and can assist with insurance documentation if a claim is needed.
Why Immediate Action Matters
Delaying repairs or inspection after a storm leaves your home vulnerable to further water intrusion and more costly fixes down the line. Insurance companies often require prompt documentation if you intend to file a claim, so acting quickly helps protect your interests — and your peace of mind.
