What Does This Mean for Concord Homeowners?
This evening, Doppler radar has tracked a cluster of strong thunderstorms near Huntersville, with the potential to impact Concord and the surrounding areas of Cabarrus County. The main hazards include wind gusts up to 40 mph and pea-size hail, as well as heavy rainfall that could cause localized flooding. The National Weather Service is urging residents in the affected zones to seek shelter indoors and avoid flooded roadways.
Potential Impact on Your Home and Community
- Roof and Property Risk: Strong gusts can knock down tree limbs, send loose outdoor items flying, and potentially cause minor hail damage to roofs and exterior features.
- Transportation: Heavy rainfall increases the risk of flooded local roads. Driving during or immediately after these storms should be avoided, especially in low-lying areas of Concord.
- Infrastructure Concerns: Fallen limbs and debris can block streets and damage utility lines, leading to possible power outages in parts of the city.
