How to Handle a Roofing emergency

 

The signs of a storm are evident. The sky gets darker and more frightening as the sun is covered by clouds and the skies turn cloudy. Each minute brings closer the warning indications of a storm. The winds pick up and windows start rattling. Then the rain comes in initially with just small splatters across the pavement, then it's crashing down in torrential downpour.

 

If you love the idea of a good storm, it could be an opportunity to relax with a book and take in the storm's roar from the comfort inside your house.

 

Sometimes, lightning strikes at random and breaks the trunk of an amazing tree in your yard. This causes the tree to crash onto your roof. Maybe the wind blows just a little harder than the tree trunk can bend and the tree slams straight into your home.

 

It's not uncommon for trees and branches to cause damage to roofs on days like this. It's not typical for this to occur!
