Understanding Wind Speed and Damage

45 – 55 mph: As reported by the National Weather Service, winds within this range are classified as “non-severe.” Winds of 45 mph or higher can break off small tree branches and occasionally damage shingles that are already loose.

55+ mph: Winds reaching this speed are considered severe. They can cause moderate damage to both landscaping and structures. Tree limbs can be broken off, trees can be uprooted, and shingles can be torn away. There can also be damage to siding and gutters.
