Hurricane Remnants Hit Hard – Trust a VFL to Protect Your Roof
July 4, 2025
4 min read
From August to October, Knoxville can feel the effects of hurricanes or tropical storms that make landfall in the Gulf or Atlantic. While the city is too far inland for direct hits, weakened storms bring heavy rain (4-8 inches in a day), winds of 30-50 mph, and flooding. The National Weather Service notes that remnants of storms like Hurricane Helene has caused significant damage in East Tennessee.

Hurricane Remnants Hit Hard – Trust a VFL to Protect Your Roof
How These Storms Damage Can Your Roof
Hurricane remnants are like a relentless running game – they keep pounding your roof. Heavy rain can overwhelm gutters, causing water to seep under shingles. Gusty winds can loosen or tear off shingles, exposing your roof deck and falling branches from weakened trees can puncture your roof, leaving massive holes. At Daniel Hood Roofing, we’ve repaired damage from tropical storm remnants across Knoxville, from minor leaks to major shingle loss. Our licensed and insured team is equipped to handle it all.
Tips to Prepare for Hurricane Remnants
● Secure Loose Items: Anchor outdoor furniture to prevent wind damage.
● Check Your Roof: Look for loose shingles before a storm.
