Coastal hurricanes
The Outer Banks and coastal plain see hurricanes regularly, with storms such as Florence causing widespread wind and rain damage. Wind-rated installation and secure edges are essential near the coast.
Piedmont storms and hail
Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro see severe thunderstorms with wind and hail. Many suburban roofs from the 1990s and 2000s are due for replacement.
Mountain snow and ice
Asheville and the higher elevations see snow and ice that cause ice dams and stress gutters. Hurricane Helene in 2024 showed the mountains can also take severe wind and flood damage.
