Roof Repair in Central Mississippi Following Damage From High Winds & Tornadoes on April 13, 2022

Residents of Central Mississippi ended their workday on Wednesday, April 13th, with high winds and tornadoes that caused damage to roofs, along with damaged siding on homes and commercial buildings. Many trees were uprooted, felled or snapped and thrown onto roads, highways and buildings. Utility poles were twisted, or snapped. Tornadoes dropped and sped through communities across Mississippi with focused destruction over Jackson and areas around Jackson. One tornado ran through a forested area to the west of Jackson. Others carved paths east of Jackson.

In Alcorn County, structures were damaged by an EF-0 tornado that touched down with maximum estimated wind speed of 80 mph. Unfortunately, in Olive Branch, people were trapped in a house after a tree fell on it. Injuries are unknown at this time. High winds caused roof damage to several commercial buildings and a gas station awning was destroyed. A home in Ashland had a tree fall on it, damaging the roof. Basic City had suspected tornadic activity, with structural damage along CR 350. A wall collapsed in Jonestown, with the high winds blowing brick debris 30-40 feet into the street. Crystal Springs saw wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph.

Eudora homes were damaged by trees falling on them. In Cross Roads, a tin roof was peeled off a shed. And significant roof damage occurred in Hernando. Overall, damage was significant to many buildings of all types. And RestoreMasters has been there helping home owners, business owners and property managers, with damage assessment, insurance reports and getting the buildings and structures back to pre-storm condition.

Reports abound of tornado and high wind damage all throughout central and Midwest states. This storm is part of the same system that brought havoc to the Louisville, Kentucky area. From the wind storm weather map, the large gray areas indicate winds from 58 – 73 mph. Smaller dark blue areas indicate winds from 74 – 95 mph with the black streaks throughout indicating tornadoes.

Severe storms, bringing hail, strong winds, or tornadoes can cause severe roof damage, by ripping off roofing systems.

Some older roofs can be damaged by winds as low as 50 miles per hour.

Roof damage can be severe or mild, depending on various factors which include: materials used on the roof, impact of debris, building height and proximity to other buildings, age, angle and shape of the roof and type of roofing.

Following severe weather like this, it’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment to determine whether or not you have roof damage from hail or wind.

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.

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 deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
