Roof Repair Teams Respond to Hail, High Wind Damage Across Central Oklahoma on Saturday, April 23, 2022

A menacing storm front trekked across Central Oklahoma on Saturday, April 23rd, as high winds and hail property damage were inflicted across the region. RestoreMasters apprised commercial roof repair contractors to lend support before heavy rains soak vulnerable buildings.

Based on Oklahoma Gas and Electric’s system watch, more than 4,000 residential and commercial buildings lost power on Saturday night, with 1,100 customers in the Oklahoma City Metro area experiencing service disruptions into Sunday. Reports indicate a funnel cloud touched down near Tuttle and cut a path as long as four miles while causing roof wind damage. First-hand accounts also indicate a twister may have briefly made ground fall near Tinker Air Force Base, according to News 9.

A local hailstorm damage map shows at least four storms moving through Central Oklahoma, with the largest spanning from the eastern Gracemont to south Spencer. Another severe weather concentration hovered to the north and southwest of El Reno. To the south, Slaughterville was pelted by a fast-moving hail event. The long yellow bands on the local hail and roof wind damage map show ice balls up to 1.25 inches striking neighborhoods and business areas. The light orange indicates ice up to 1.75 inches pounding cars, trucks, and buildings. The dark orange hovering around Grady County points to emergency roof repairs being needed as ice stones the size of tennis balls battered buildings.

Strong winds can rip open some roofing systems and cause severe roof wind damage.

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

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.

After a severe storm of hail or high winds, it is important to get your roof inspected, and have a property damage assessment report so that you can learn whether you have damage to your roofing system.

If roof leaks do occur, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can stop leaks with tarping or shrink wrapping, where affected areas (or the entire roof) are covered with a durable shrink-wrapped plastic membrane till permanent repairs can take place. That way you can prevent mold growth from water intrusion.

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.

Many storm damage symptoms are not always evident immediately.

And insurance companies sometimes enforce deadlines for claims, so you need to get your claim filed quickly.
