Heavy Winds Pack a Punch

7/1/2020 (Permalink)

Did you know there is a difference between wind types? Straight line winds are often referred to damaging winds that are not a result of a tornado. A downdraft is referred to the heavy winds that occur from thunderstorm cell formation. These winds can reach speeds upwards of 50-60 miles per hour. Its not so much that the wind is blowing, its what the wind is blowing. Debris from the surrounding area is easily swept into the chaotic weather, causing structural damage and may even put your life at risk. Hail damage, roof shingle loss and downed trees are only scratching the surface of possible outcomes. When you find your home or business in dire need of restoration after damaging winds, give SERVPRO a call.
