Reply to comment by bionica1 in Another significant wind event looks possible Saturday by James19991

Half of the shingles on the smallest portion of our roof blew off on Saturday and our chimney got damaged, so this is going to be fun!

We bought our house in late 2021 and this is the first time we had wind damage too.

Geeeeeez. Poor roof and chimney. Sure, we don't get snow this winter but instead, all this damn wind!!

My neighbor's huge tree fell down (on a nonwindy night) and took out the power to my house a few weeks ago so DLC had to run new wire from the pole. Had to hire an electrician too to replace the weather head (new word for me). The line looks way more secure now but even with the wind last night, it was making me nervous!

Hope you fare ok this Saturday!

That's scary!!! I hope you guys fare okay this Saturday too. I was nervous last night as well. I kept wondering if the rest of the roof was gonna go. Thankfully, it held!

Too bad you can’t just bungee cords to hold the roof on!

Yes it was terrifying! We were about 15’ away chilling in the living room when the power went out. No storms or anything going on so I look outside and boom giant tree in my front yard!! It took power lines down onto a very busy street. Thankfully it was almost midnight on a Wednesday when it happened.

Not to make this too long of a story but when I called 911 (power lines were laying on the road) I waited on hold for 7 minutes. “Due to high call volumes”. That was even scarier than the tree falling I think!!
