Emergency Roofing Contractors Called-In After Tornado Shreds Lorain County, Ohio, Rooftops On Monday, April 25, 2022

High winds and tornados ripped through Lorain County, Ohio, on Monday, April 25th, tearing at commercial buildings and leaving property owners in desperate need of emergency roof repair. RestoreMasters alerted emergency roofing crews to respond quickly and shore up damage and leaks.

ABC 5 News in Cleveland reported that winds upwards of 80 mph left residents sheltering in secure spaces as extensive roof storm damage was inflicted. A video account of a local business having its metal roof ripped to shreds went viral on the news platform. The first-hand account of the devastation shows sections flying into the air until almost nothing is left on the storage building's roof. The twister reportedly touched down in Columbia Township at approximately 2:20 pm, and sections of the roof were hurled at surrounding buildings along Eaton Commerce Parkway near Route 82.

A local map of the tornado in Lorain County and the surrounding area shows long silver-gray storm fronts stretching from Peru along Route 61, northeast through Oberlin and Parma, before angling north through East Cleveland. A second severe weather event ran from Warrensville Heights and Chagrin Falls northeast across Jefferson, where a yellow swath indicates hail property damage occurred.

Tornadoes, hail, and even strong winds can cause severe wind damage to roofing systems.

Some older roofs can sustain damage from only 50 mph winds.

The intensity of roof damage is determined by various factors: the velocity and impact of flying debris, the quality of the original installation, the building height and location in relation to other buildings, the angle and shape of the roof, and the material used on the roof.

Getting a roof inspection & property damage assessment after severe weather like this is important for determining whether you need to address roof damage from hail or high winds.

In situations where you’ve got a leaking roof, experienced disaster roofing contractors can stop the leaks temporarily, by laying tarp or by using a durable shrink-wrap plastic membrane in the affected areas, or even over the entire roof. This will keep your building protected until permanent repairs can take place. This will help prevent mold infestation from water leaks.

Get your roof inspected, even if you think there is no problem, especially if your property falls anywhere within the area of the hail and wind damage map.

Symptoms of storm damage problems do not always show up immediately.

And insurance companies can require you to get a claim in before their deadline.
