Emergency Roof Repair Crews Dispatched As Bolivar, Missouri, Pounded By Hail On Thursday, April 21, 2022

Polk County, Missouri, residents huddled under tornado threat as Bolivar took heavy hail roof damage and flooding on Thursday, April 21, 2022. RestoreMaster notified commercial roof repair professionals in advance to support property owners immediately after the storms pass.

Area news crews reportedly interviewed Bolivar community members who endured raging winds and hard ice impacts. City of Bolivar Emergency Management Director Brent Watkins and property owners agreed the fast-moving storm left piles of ice and roof hail damage.

“It just started pattering, and then all the sudden, it just started, the wind started blowing really, really hard, and hail just started hitting the windows. I honestly thought that the windows were going to break,” one resident reportedly told KY3 news. “First instinct was to just take cover and get away from the windows and stay low because the last thing I need is being hit by hail. I’m not going to lie, it was quite scary. And seeing the wind and the hail, it was just, Wow.”

Media reports noted that a funnel cloud may have touched down west of Fair Play just over the Cedar County line. Early reports did not indicate any injuries or fatalities, but “property damage is abundant.” Officials have also reportedly stated that insurance companies are expected to cover the cost of residential and commercial roof repair.

A local hail damage map shows a massive storm stretch from Stockton Lake to the west of Conway, with smaller fronts hovering to the east and south of Stockton. Areas on the periphery of the hailstorm, shown in yellow, indicate hail up to 1.25 inches fell in Conway, Halfway, along Highway 65, and Bona, among others. The orange spaces show hail up to 2.5 inches able to crack shingles striking Bolivar, Boyd, Ekland, and Aldrich, among others.

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

If roof leaks are a problem, they need to be addressed immediately. Experienced roofing contractors can either cover the affected area (or the entire roof) with a tarp or with a durable shrink wrap plastic membrane until long-term repairs can be made. Preventing water intrusion will help stop mold from growing.

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.

Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.

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