Emergency Roofing Crews Respond to Hail Damage Across Okmulgee, Muskogee & Tahlequah, OK on Friday, April 15, 2022

Okmulgee, Muskogee, Tahlequah, and other communities sustained heavy hail damage on Friday, April 15th, 2022, as storm fronts swept Eastern Oklahoma. RestoreMaster placed emergency roofing crews on alert to respond and affect roof leak repair before rain drenches commercial buildings.

The hail damage to roofing systems appears substantial and widespread as multiple fronts struck residential and commercial areas. The Sooner state typically experiences persistent hail deep into May, and tornado winds are common through June. This year has been no different as the recent severe weather event stretched across Eastern Oklahoma counties.

A local hailstorm damage map shows formations as far west as Stroud and east across the Arkansas border, where Fort Smith took icefall. The Broken Arrow outskirts of Tulsa experienced a pelting as hail reached as far south as the Arkansas River below Sallisaw. The yellow areas shown on the hail property damage map highlight regions blunted by ice as large as 1.25 inches that doused areas such as Fort Gibson, Wainwright, Roland, Coweta, and Lake Eufaula State Park, among others. The orange swaths show cities and towns such as Muskogee and Tahlequah taking direct hits from ice stones as large as 2.5 inches in diameter, causing hail damage on roofs and automobiles as it spread across neighborhoods and business districts.

Some roofing systems can be severely harmed by damage from heavy winds, tornadoes, or hail.

Winds as low as 50 mph can cause some older roofs to be damaged.

The intensity of roof damage is determined by various factors: the velocity and impact of flying debris, the quality of the original installation, the building height and location in relation to other buildings, the angle and shape of the roof, and the material used on the roof.

Getting a roof inspection & property damage assessment after severe weather like this is important for determining whether you need to address roof damage from hail or high winds.

If roof leaks are a problem, they need to be addressed immediately. Experienced roofing contractors can either cover the affected area (or the entire roof) with a tarp or with a durable shrink wrap plastic membrane until long-term repairs can be made. Preventing water intrusion will help stop mold from growing.

Get your roof inspected, even if you think there is no problem, especially if your property falls anywhere within the area of the hail and wind damage map.

Many storm damage symptoms are not always evident immediately.

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