Recommended Practices—High Wind Regions

High wind regions cover a large portion of the United States While we associate the Gulf and Atlantic coasts with hurricanes and the Midwest with tornadoes, severe thunderstorms can happen anywhere. Microbursts and “derechoes” have become familiar terms and cause very significant damage in localized areas. Roof damage is one of the most frequent types of damage and particularly serious because it is often coupled with significant water damage.
