Roofing Contractor Responds to Hail, Wind & Tornado Damage in Central Mississippi After November 29, 2022 Storms Pound Southern States
Commercial Roofing & Restoration
At least eight tornadoes ripped through Central Mississippi on Tuesday, Nov.29th, leaving a wake of destruction and property owners in dire need of emergency roof repair.
RestoreMasters readied commercial roof inspection services and roof hail damage professionals as meteorologists predicted massive losses would be sustained across the region. Commercial property owners who need an inspection to fast-track insurance claims can call the roof repair office in Jackson, MS.
“The Mississippi Emergency Management Agency said two injuries were reported in Pike County and so far, there have been reports of damage to 47 homes and two poultry farms. The majority of the damage was reported in Lowndes County, where the (National Weather Service) confirmed an EF2 tornado struck, damaging 20 homes. Twelve homes were damaged in Jasper County, where an EF2 tornado was confirmed,” according to KION 46 news. “The tornado in Bassfield laid waste to an agriculture building but missed a nearby house. Around the corner, a torn roof and shattered walls were just one sign of how strong the winds were.”
Commercial, institutional, and agricultural building owners concerned about wind, hail, or tornado damage are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. It’s not uncommon for tornadoes to generate a vacuum force that negatively impact roofing systems. Many suffer delayed roof leaks and insurance corporations may be inclined to deny late claims.
A local high wind, hail, and tornado damage map shows a pair of hailstorms trekking across Central Mississippi. The yellows areas south of Winona and north of West Point show hailstones up to 1.25 inches pelted automobiles and roofing systems. The orange centers of these storms indicate hailstones up to 1.75 inches cracked shingles and dented metal roof panels.
Black streaks near Columbus, Eupora, Vaiden, and Artesia, demonstrate twisters touched down, wreaking havoc across neighborhoods, farmland, and business districts.

The high wind and hail damage to roofing systems can be promptly inspected and repaired by enlisting the support of an experienced restoration contractor. RestoreMasters responded to Demopolis, AL, to make fix hail damage and provide commercial roof inspection services after a storm struck on October 12, 2022.
Strong winds can rip open some roofing systems and cause severe roof wind damage.
Some older roofs can be damaged by winds as low as 50 miles per hour.
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.
It’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment following severe weather like this so that you can determine whether you have roof damage from hail or high winds.
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.
Rather than believing your roof is not damaged, if your property is anywhere in the area of the storm damage map, then you will want to get your roof inspected.
Some storm damage symptoms take time to appear.
And deadlines from insurance companies could hinder you from filing a claim later.
