Why Gadsden Storms Damage Roofs

Etowah County sits in the corridor where spring severe weather rolls through. Straight-line wind tears shingles, especially on open lots where nothing breaks the wind. Hail bruises the shingles, weakening the mat. And the rain that follows tests the damage immediately.

Homes on the west-facing slopes take the worst of it, since that’s the direction the storm systems move. The wind gets under a loose shingle and peels it back fast.
