Austin & Cedar Park Severe Wind — March 22, 2026
A line of severe thunderstorms produced straight-line winds gusting to 78 mph across Williamson and Travis counties. Widespread tree damage, scattered power outages, and dozens of roof failure reports — primarily lifted shingles and torn ridge caps.
Potential roofing concerns
- Lifted or creased asphalt shingles along eaves and rakes
- Missing ridge caps and hip shingles
- Loose or displaced flashings around chimneys and walls
- Pulled fasteners on standing-seam metal panels
- Detached fascia, soffit, and gutter sections
Inspection recommendations
- 01Walk the property perimeter and photograph any shingles, caps, or debris on the ground
- 02Look up at the roof line from the ground — creased shingles often show as a faint horizontal line
- 03Check attic for daylight or water staining around penetrations
- 04Schedule a documented inspection even if no leaks are present — wind damage is often invisible from the ground
- 05Keep photographs, invoices and receipts for temporary work; your insurer determines whether any expense is covered
