Examples of Wind Damage
Winds can become very strong and pick up objects that are not properly secured. These can then turn into projectiles that further damage other property. It is a good idea to put away outdoor furniture and other moveable outdoor objects if you suspect strong winds or a storm in your area. Wind damage can still occur even with the best preparations to minimize damage, though.
Wind damage will likely happen to a structure, such as your home. For example, wind could cause damage to your roof, such as ripping off shingles and creating portions of the roof that are vulnerable to other elements. Or perhaps the wind caused a side of your house to collapse. Maybe windows or doors were destroyed that now have to be replaced.
