What’s Happening in Concord, NC?
The National Weather Service has issued a special weather statement this evening for our region, including Concord and the surrounding Cabarrus County area. Strong thunderstorms are moving northeast at 25 mph, bringing wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail. These conditions can lead to falling tree limbs, unsecured objects being blown around, and minor hail damage—especially to vegetation and property like your roof.
Local Outdoor Events Affected by the Weather
- Tianyu Lights Festival at Concord Mills – This stunning outdoor event runs through June 22. If you plan to attend tonight, please monitor the weather closely and consider rescheduling if storms intensify.
- Hiking Concord (Pickup Sports Game) – Scheduled for today at 3:00 PM. Outdoor participants should be extra cautious and seek shelter if conditions worsen.
Are you planning to be out and about or attending any of these events? Prioritize safety—move indoors at the first sign of lightning or gusty winds.
Potential Impact: What Should You Worry About?
- Property Damage: Wind gusts at 40 mph can loosen shingles, dislodge gutters, and cause debris to impact your roof.
- Minor Hail: While pea-sized hail seems small, it can still bruise shingles or dent metal fixtures—damage that isn’t always visible from the ground.
- Travel Risks: Torrential rainfall may lead to localized flooding. Remember: never drive through flooded roadways.
- Lightning: Lightning strikes can occur up to 10 miles from a thunderstorm. Take shelter inside a building or vehicle.
How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Storm
Even if the storm seems mild, hidden roof damage can add up over time. Here’s how you can spot problems early:
- Check your yard for shingle granules or broken pieces—these are warning signs.
- Look for lifted, curled, or missing shingles from the ground (don’t climb on the roof yourself—leave that to pros!).
- Inspect attic ceilings for new water stains or damp spots the day after the storm.
- Walk around your home’s exterior to spot dented gutters, cracked siding, or displaced flashing near the roofline.
