The Dangers of Hail Damage

Hailstorms, while often brief, can cause significant damage to homes, vehicles, and personal safety.

Home Damage

Roofing: Even small hailstones can dent shingles, crack tiles, and compromise roofing materials, leading to leaks and structural issues.
Windows and Siding: Hail can shatter windows and puncture siding, exposing the interior to the elements and increasing repair costs.

Vehicle Damage

Body and Glass: Vehicles are susceptible to dents, broken windows, and cracked windshields from hail impact.
Safety Hazards: Driving during a hailstorm can be dangerous due to reduced visibility and potential glass breakage.

Personal Safety

Injury Risk: Large hailstones can cause serious injuries to individuals caught outdoors, including concussions and lacerations.

Protecting Yourself and Your Property

Stay Informed: Monitor weather alerts from the National Weather Service and local news outlets.
Seek Shelter: During hailstorms, stay indoors and away from windows.
Protect Vehicles: If a garage is unavailable, use thick blankets or specialized car covers to shield your vehicle.
