Murrieta Home Damaged by Powerful Wind Gusts?
8/7/2023 (Permalink)
Our local team in Murrieta responds to storm damage emergencies throughout the year. Powerful winds can blow through our region at any time of the year, sending anything not tied down flying through the air. Broken tree limbs become flying projectiles, breaking windows and damaging anything in their path.
Here are some suggestions from the National Weather Service (NWS) for preparing your home in advance of windy weather:
- Trim tree branches away from your house and power lines
- Secure loose gutters and shutters
- Identify an interior room of your house, such as an interior bathroom, that you can take shelter in during high wind warnings
- If you live in a mobile home, identify a sturdy building you can go to if the NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm warning
- Charge batteries of all essential items such as cell phones and booster packs, weather radios, and power tools such as a reciprocating saw, which you may need to clear debris
- Update your emergency kit and be sure to include enough food and water to last for three days for each person in your window. When NWS issues a high wind or severe thunderstorm watch, immediately secure these items to avoid damage or injury once the wind starts picking up
- Make a list of items outside your home you will need to tie down or put away so that they don’t blow over or fly away
