Protecting Your Home from a Tornado

Tornado Damage

Tornados can be a nasty surprise. Don’t be caught unprepared, there are measures you can take to protect your home from suffering extensive damage. Here are a few tips to keeping your home in one piece when a storm occurs.

Being Prepared

1. Doors- Garage doors are especially prone to being torn off during a storm. Install doors that can withstand strong winds.
2. Roof- Winds blow over a home and exerts pressure against the roof of your home. Install hurricane clips that will aid in keeping your roof secured to your home during a storm.
3. Concrete- If you’re in the position to build your home or are adding additions, build with concrete. It’s much more durable than typical building materials and can withstand more pressure.
