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.

Winds as low as 50 mph can cause some older roofs to be damaged.

The severity of roof damage depends on several factors including: type and age of roofing materials, presence of flying debris, roof shape and angle, building height and proximity to adjacent structures and the quality of original roof installation.

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.

Circumstances do not always allow for immediate repair of roof leaks. In the meantime, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can cover the roof or affected area with a tarp or with a durable plastic shrink wrap material, until such a time when more permanent repairs can be made. We need to stop more moisture damage, so we can prevent mold growth.

Even if you don’t think your roof was damaged, you will want to get your roof inspected if your property falls anywhere within the hail damage map.

Many storm damage symptoms are not always evident immediately.

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