​Hurricane-force winds ripped through Sioux Falls, SD, on Monday, June 20th, leaving property owners in dire need of emergency roof repair. Local reports indicate the fast-moving wind storm ripped roofing systems from buildings, shredded siding, and created leaks as debris pelted agricultural and commercial buildings. RestoreMaster has commercial roof inspection and repair crews in Sioux Falls to support community members as they petition insurance companies.

“The floor of the hayloft just dropped straight down, and I figure they were probably in a pocket about a foot and a half to two feet of headroom. And there was 15 sheep in there, 11 adult ewes and four lambs,” Jim Wipf of Chancellor reportedly told Kelo local news. “We were in the bullseye. But you know what, I’m going to miss looking out that kitchen window and seeing this big ol’ barn standing there because that’s a relic of the past. And now, unfortunately, it’s gone.”

Agricultural and commercial property owners who sustained damage during the latest high-wind storm to hit Eastern South Dakota are urged to request a complimentary roof inspection. High winds typically tear asphalt shingles, loosen metal roofing sections, and damage sealant on flat roofs. A commercial roof inspection services firm can provide a detailed report about the conditions of a roof to help expedite insurance claims.

A local high wind damage map shows a large light and dark gray high-wind storm stretching from Parker northeast across Sioux Falls and into Minnesota, north of Garretson. Light gray indicates high winds able to fling debris and snap tree branches. But the dark center of the storm shows winds exceeding 80 mph striking at business districts in and around the I-29 and I-90 intersection.

​The National Weather Service hailstorm, tornado, and high wind property damage map highlights severe weather events sweeping across Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota. National sources estimate six tornados, 48 hailstone strikes, and 241 high wind incidents resulted in widespread property damage on Monday, June 20th. Social media and traditional news reports illustrate the devastation suffered in the Sioux Falls area.  

  • Baltic: Photos of fallen and broken tree limbs were trending on social media.
  • Bancroft: A twister briefly touched down in Kingsbury County as doors were blown off buildings.
  • Crooks: Wind speeds were recorded above 60 mph.
  • Brandon: Social media posts show large trees downed.
  • Flandreau: Tree limbs three inches in diameter landed on buildings in Moody County.
  • Hartford: The roof of a trailer was blown completely off by strong wind gusts.
  • Sherman: Large tree branches were snapped in Moody County.
  • Sioux Falls: Wind speeds exceeded 80 mph, mirroring those of a Category 1 hurricane across Minnehaha County. A hanger’s roof was torn off at the airport.
  • Wall Lake: Trained storm spotters witnessed large cottonwood trees snapping in the wind.

High wind roof damage occurs when flying debris makes impact, and sections are torn away or loosened. When roofs sustain extreme wind force, leaks typically follow. RestoreMaster sent commercial roof inspection services and repair experts to Belle Fourche and Western South Dakota after hail and high winds caused roof damage on June 12, 2022.

Strong winds can rip open some roofing systems and cause severe roof wind damage.

Some older roofs can sustain damage from only 50 mph winds.

Several factors will determine the severity of roof damage: the height of the building and proximity to nearby structures, the quality of work by the original installers, the shape and angle of the roof, the age and type of roofing materials, and the impact from debris.

It’s important to get a thorough roof inspection & property damage assessment following severe weather like this so that you can determine whether you have roof damage from hail or high winds.

Circumstances do not always allow for immediate repair of roof leaks. In the meantime, an experienced disaster roofing contractor can cover the roof or affected area with a tarp or with a durable plastic shrink wrap material, until such a time when more permanent repairs can be made. We need to stop more moisture damage, so we can prevent mold growth.

Even if you don’t think your roof was damaged, you will want to get your roof inspected if your property falls anywhere within the hail damage map.

Some storm damage problems do not produce symptoms right away.

And insurance companies sometimes enforce deadlines for claims, so you need to get your claim filed quickly.
