Safety Instructions

To repeat, a tornado is on the ground. TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a
storm shelter, safe room or an interior room on the lowest floor of a
sturdy building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile
home, or in a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and
protect yourself from flying debris.

Roof Damage After a Storm — What to Look For

  • Dents or bruising on shingles, gutters, and flashing
  • Missing, cracked, or lifted shingles
  • Granule loss (dark streaks in downspouts or gutters)
  • Dented or damaged skylights, vents, and AC units
  • Interior water stains on ceilings or walls

Even minor hail damage can compromise your roof's waterproofing. A licensed roofer can identify hidden damage before it leads to leaks or mold.
