Local Outdoor Events to Monitor
- Tianyu Lights Festival at Concord Mills – Running through June 22, this family-friendly outdoor event is a highlight, but be cautious if attending tonight. Gusty winds and frequent lightning could pose safety risks.
- Hiking Concord (Pickup Sports Game) – Scheduled for June 16 at 3:00 PM, participants should monitor weather updates and seek shelter if conditions worsen.
Planning on attending or already outdoors? The NWS recommends moving indoors as soon as possible when severe weather is imminent. Lightning can strike up to 10 miles from a storm, so play it safe.
What This Storm Means for Your Roof & Home
Wind gusts up to 40 mph can seem minor, but they’re strong enough to:
- Knock down tree limbs onto roofs, causing hidden leaks or shingle damage
- Dislodge loose shingles or gutters
- Send unsecured yard items crashing into siding or windows
Even a brief storm can leave behind issues that get overlooked—especially if you can’t spot them from the ground. Curious if your roof has taken a hit? Don’t wait until a small leak becomes a major repair.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
- Check for missing or curled shingles: Scan your yard for shingle debris, and look at your roof from the ground for obvious gaps.
- Inspect for tree limb impacts: Even small branches can dent or puncture roofing materials.
- Look at your gutters and downspouts: Are they loose or overflowing with debris? This can be an early sign of damage.
- Check your attic or ceiling immediately after the storm: Water stains or drips can signal new leaks.
Remember, some damage only becomes visible after the next rain—or worse, after mold has set in. If you’re unsure what to look for, a professional inspection is always free at Concord NC Roof Repair.
Why Timely Action Matters
- Insurance companies often require documentation right after the event—don’t put off your inspection.
- Minor issues can grow into expensive repairs if not caught early.
- Fast, professional help can bring you peace of mind and may save you money down the line.
