Roof Hail Damage Repair Started In Midland, Texas, After Storm on May 24, 2022

On Tuesday, pea-sized to baseball-sized hail dropped, with rain, wind gusts up to 80 mph, and a tornado, in Midland and the surrounding areas. Northwest Midland received one-half inch of rain, in less than an hour. Early evening, a tornado hit ground along highway 158 and moved into Sterling County.

After the rains blew by, winds reaching 38 mph and gusts of 51 mph were recorded at Midland International. An Ef-1 tornado was confirmed at 95 mph, with a path of 7.4 miles and maximum width of 100 yards. Large trees were downed, tree limbs snapped, and some homes had roof damage. More damage to buildings occurred from wind gusts than the tornado, roofs blown off a house in Meadow and in Monument, and shingles blown off a roof in Gardendale, to name a few.

RestoreMaster crews have been in Texas recently due to another storm in the panhandle, on May 1. They sent a crew over to work in the Midland area, in order to alleviate the details of everything from insurance reporting to final restoration, which can be overwhelming to a property owner.

The blue tag on the local hail and wind map, marking Midland, TX, shows that area and surrounding communities hit by very large hail, larger than 2.5 inches (purple). Areas further out received hail in the golf ball to tennis ball-sized range (dark orange), then northward the stones that dropped were smaller half dollar (orange) to quarter-sized (yellow). The gray areas in the southward side of the storm indicate heavy winds, up about 70 mph, and a tornado.

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.

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 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.

Symptoms of storm damage problems do not always show up immediately.

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