Storm Damage MN | Hail Damage Roof Repair MN When hail damage occurs to shingles, there may be severe granule loss, the shingles may lose material at their edges, and penetration is also possible. If wind is involved, then the damage becomes much worse. Minnesota Impact Resistant Shingles Are any Minnesota shingles impact resistant? That is a good question because there is approximately $1 billion in damage done to roofs each year due to hail storms. From the years 1991 to 1995, hail damage resulted in nearly $8 billion in insurance payouts for each year. Fortunately, there are new shingle designs that are able to resist both hail and wind. If you currently have old shingles on your roof, then you may already have hail damage. Some of the older asphalt shingles that are currently on roofs around Minnesota are not designed to handle the harsh environment of a hail storm. As a matter of fact, many of these older roofs have got wear and tear that makes them weaker than what they used to be. New shingles There are several manufacturers offering resistance to the effects of weather. Not only do they resist hail, but they can resist flying debris.

May 22 2011 Storms Rip Through Minnesota Sunday, May 22, 2011, large tornadoes moved through much of Minnesota, damaging many homes and businesses.

Minneapolis Tornado Damage was extensive, leaving a trail of devastation for many Minnesota homeowners. Sunday’s damage appeared consistent with tornadoes rated EF2, which carry winds of 111 to 135 miles per hour. Only 10.7 percent of U.S. tornadoes are rated EF2, and only about 4 percent are stronger. On Monday, damage assessment teams from the National Weather Service will visit dozens of damage scenes and make a final pronouncement on the length, strength and number of tornadoes. Surveying the Damage in North Minneapolis Crews from several city departments were in north Minneapolis to access short and long-term work needed following a tornado Sunday afternoon that ripped through many neighborhoods in that part of town.
