Why This Storm Matters for Concord Homeowners
Strong thunderstorms like tonight’s bring real risks to our community. Gusty winds can knock down tree limbs, damage roofs, and blow around unsecured outdoor objects. Even pea-sized hail can cause minor harm to roof shingles, gutters, and outdoor furniture. It’s important to be aware of these risks and know how to respond if you notice any damage after the storm passes.

How to Recognize and Inspect Roof Damage After a Thunderstorm
It’s natural to wonder—"How do I know if my roof was damaged in tonight’s storm?" Here are some key signs to look for once it’s safe to inspect your property:
- Visible dents or bruises on shingles (especially after hail)
- Missing or curled shingles caused by wind
- Granules from shingles collecting in gutters or downspouts
- Leaks or water spots inside your home, especially on ceilings or in the attic

Always make safety your first priority—avoid climbing onto your roof after a storm. If you spot any potential issues from the ground, or notice leaks inside, that’s your sign to reach out for a professional inspection.
