Tornado Damage in San Antonio
San Antonio may be south of Tornado Alley, but that doesn’t mean our homes and businesses aren’t at risk of tornado damage!
As residents who follow weather in the San Antonio region know, we are affected by volatile El Nino weather patterns. El Ninos are complex series of storms that occur because of our proximity to the gulf.
How to Prepare Your Home
The shape of roofs can make them blow off more easily during a storm. Peaked roofs can create a suction when high-speed winds blow over the home.
You can protect your home by installing storm safe windows and investing in high-quality shingles. If your home has been damaged by any kind of storm, Broadshield Restoration can help install more storm-resistant materials to protect you and your family in the future.
Degrees of Tornado Intensity
May is the peak month for tornadoes in Texas. Whether or not a tornado actually strikes, the storm system can bring hail and heavy winds. In order to help you understand the risk factor of tornadoes and tornado damage, we’d like to share the differences between tornado damage caused by weak, significant, and violent tornadoes.
Weak Tornadoes
The vast majority of tornadoes are weak tornadoes. But don’t be deceived by the name — weak tornadoes can cause a lot of damage! They’re called weak tornadoes because they don’t last very long.
Well-built structures don’t usually sustain much tornado damage during this kind of storm, though weaker buildings can become significantly damaged. Vehicles can be blown off the road or flipped, and structures can suffer major roof damage.
Significant Tornadoes
In a significant tornado, well-built structures can suffer serious tornado damage, including losing your roof or having your walls collapse. Smaller structures like mobile homes can be completely destroyed.
Cars are lifted off the ground and lighter objects can become very dangerous as they are thrown through the air by high-speed winds. These objects can seriously injure and even kill people who aren’t well sheltered. Homes and buildings may also suffer water damage from the storm.
Violent Tornadoes
Violent tornadoes are very rare, and if they do occur, they form in tornado alley, away from San Antonio. Very few people who are in the path of a violent tornado survive. These tornadoes are the ones of stories like “The Wizard of Oz,” where the storm can lift homes off the foundation and lift heavy vehicles like trains or airplanes.
