I don't see any sense in replacing your roof unless it's leaking. So what if another big hail storm pounds your new shingles next week? See if the insurance company will replace it, too? My roof is only about 5 years old and still looks fine to me after hail storms nearly every year, even though the hail was bigger this year. And a man experienced in roofing looked at it last year and couldn't see hail damage.Originally Posted by Karried

Re: Severe Weather Outlook - Sat 7/25 - Sat 8/1
There hadnt been any lightning or thunder for hours at our house last night and I was watching tv with the curtains closed and saw a huge Orange flash outside. So I expected thunder immedeately. I waited 8 seconds (actually counted) before one of the loudest booms I've ever heard. (It set off car and home alarms in our neighborhood). I was confused by the delay between the bright flash and the boom (surely a flash that bright was very close I thought) and for a brief moment terror crept into my mind. I thought there had been a huge explosion. I raced to the door as the second and third booms occured. And only when I stepped outside did I realize it was just thunder.
I love storms and I've probably sat out on the porch 500 times watching and listening to them as they roll past. Or jumped in the truck to chase after and photograph them. So I'm accustomed to the sound. Only a couple of times have I seen/heard lightning and thunder like the bolts last night. There were several bolts like that last night where you could hear a series of booms rolling across the sky like they were several bombs on one fuse. Maybe Venture has an explanation. The thick humidity...or extra voltage???
It scared the crap outta the pets....

Did it rain in the metro around noon? I was surprised when mom and I went to Harrah to see the Ragdoll kittens, she was telling me that she almost went to visit her parents when she saw dark clouds, she changed her mind then it downpoured.
The last night storm and another previous storm, I saw lightnings that streaked across the clouds (bunch of lines). It was amazing and I do not remember when the last time I have ever seen it. Usually I see cloud to ground lightning and lightning behind the clouds, but rarely do I see all those crazy lines under the clouds.
Karrie, unless your roof have serious leak damage, then there is no need for a complete new roof. I can see some wear/tear on mom's roof, but it is still in great shape and no leak. Only repair she had was during the ice storm a portion of her pecan tree made a small hole. You can not keep it perfect.
Venture, I hope you were up last night. It was a huge complex.

I was at 50th and Lincoln at noon today (mmmm...Bedlam BBQ) and just after I got inside, it started pouring. By the time I finished eating, it had stopped.

I want to take care of it before that happens! lol
Our roof is much older than yours and it is totalled.
I've never filed an insurance claim in my life but I've paid out thousands upon thousands of dollars during that time.
The insurance adjuster and the roofing coming agreed our roof was totalled... It might have been we just happened to be under a severe hail core. The hail was huge (I posted pics somewhere around here).... it took off the little granules on the shingles .. our gutter was full of them.. that weakens the integrity of the roof.

In that case, if the insurance company raises the rates, then you will need to fight to lower the rates back to where it was.

Large severe storm moving SE out of Kingfisher county will start impacting the NW Metro. Hail looks like the main risk. Not sure how far south it will make it...though I won't turn away the rain. 100s return this week.
