Can wind damage my Auburn, Alabama home?

2/11/2022 (Permalink)

Thunderstorms can cause a lot of damage, but it isn't always flooding. Wind can cause serious damage to your home or business.

Damaging winds are often called “straight-line” winds to differentiate the damage they cause from tornado damage. Strong thunderstorm winds can come from a number of different processes. Most thunderstorm winds that cause damage at the ground are a result of outflow generated by a thunderstorm downdraft. Damaging winds are classified as those exceeding 50-60 mph. (Source)

These winds can blow off shingles and blow over trees, just to name two ways they could damage a building. If you find your home or business damaged by storm winds, you know who to call.
