Roof Gutters Help Your Home Weather the Storm

Bad Weather Can Wreak Havoc on Your Home

The list of confirmed tornadoes that walloped North Texas on Sunday grew by six Tuesday, bringing the total to nine, while power was restored to thousands of businesses and homeowners dealt a glancing blow by the storms.

No one was killed or badly hurt by the storms. But the devastation was widespread, and close calls were abundant.

This blurb is from The Dallas Morning News about the 9 tornadoes that ripped through North Texas on Sunday, October 20 that destroyed homes and businesses across the Metroplex.

The twisters tossed trees into homes, tore off storefronts and downed power lines, but killed no one in densely populated North Dallas, leaving Mayor Eric Johnson to declare the city “very fortunate” to be assessing only property damage. (From NBCDFW website.)

While roof gutters may not help protect your home from tornadoes, they do protect your roof, siding and foundation from excessive water and debris run-off that can damage your home and lead to costly repairs.
