These Facts About Storm-Induced Winds Will Blow You Away

7/27/2022 (Permalink)

If you’ve called Nashville your home for some time now, you would know that we get a higher than average yearly rainfall. While a rainy day can be a good excuse to stay in, it can, unfortunately, cause flooding, water damage, and subsequently, mold damage if not taken care of immediately. When this happens, you need a restoration company with experience taking care of storm-related disasters. Spare yourself the research and call SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville! We’re a BBB accredited business and treat every storm damage restoration scenario in West End with empathy and attention to detail. 

Storm Watch: What Are Storm-Induced Winds, And How Can You Stay Informed About Them?

  • Wind damage from a tornado, summer storm, or even a tropical cyclone is classified separately from windstorms
  • Windstorm activity doesn’t have a timeline on when they occur- sometimes they might last a few minutes, and other times, they may last several days! The common thread that unites them, however, is that downbursts cause windstorm activity from thunderstorms and, in some cases, windstorms can be caused by the gust front
  • If you’re wondering what causes longer windstorms, there are two main reasons: significant differences in atmospheric pressure throughout a region and powerful overhead jet-stream winds
  • The best way to stay informed about windy storms in West End is to watch for weather updates and advisories. During tornadoes, wind speeds can be greater than 100 miles an hour. You can even tune in to an NOAA weather radio and stay alert when mobile updates come through. 

What Kinds Of Carpet Cleaning Services Does SERVPRO Offer After Storm Damage In West End?
