Oklahoma City averages 11 tornadoes per year within the metropolitan statistical area. The May 1999 and May 2013 tornado outbreaks demonstrated how EF4 and EF5 events strip roofs completely, implode windows, and flatten entire neighborhoods in seconds. Even weaker tornadoes generate 100 mile per hour straight-line winds that tear shingles, damage flashing, and breach building envelopes. Once the primary storm passes, you face hours or days before reconstruction crews arrive. Without immediate tarping and water extraction, wind-damaged roofs allow rain from trailing storms to flood interiors. Storm damage mitigation bridges the gap between disaster and repair, preventing manageable roof damage from becoming total interior loss.
Liberty Water Damage Restoration Riverside maintains Oklahoma City-specific storm response protocols developed through years of severe weather events. We stock heavy-duty tarping materials rated for Oklahoma wind speeds, stage equipment at multiple metro locations for faster deployment, and train crews in the unique damage patterns tornadoes create in local construction types. Our relationships with Oklahoma City building inspectors, insurance adjusters, and emergency management officials ensure coordinated response during widespread disasters. When storms impact multiple neighborhoods simultaneously, local expertise and preparedness determine who gets service first and who waits days for out-of-state contractors to mobilize.
