What Kind of Damage Can Lightning and Hail Do?

There are several kinds of potential damage that thunderstorms may cause, two of the most severe being lightning and hail damage. Lightning can strike any part of a building, but is most likely to strike the roof.

A direct hit can result in fire, either to the building itself or to the grass or trees surrounding it which can then quickly spread to the building.

Since lightning is actually a buildup of static electricity, when it strikes it can be conducted through various surfaces and pass into the wiring of your home or business.

This can cause both direct fire and smaller fires that smolder under the surface of walls and ceilings. It can also severely damage electrical appliances and even water pipes, resulting in water damage as well.

Hail damage can be quite severe. In fact, according to NOAA hail results in as much as $1 billion dollars of damage annually.  Thunderstorms can produce hail of various sizes, which can take a huge toll on roof shingles, gutters, vents, window and door frames and even windows themselves.

If you experience any of this type of damage, it’s important to act quickly to address it so that it doesn’t get any worse. At the same time, especially with lightning damage which can remain dangerous long after the initial strike, it’s important to get professional help rather than trying to handle it yourself.
