Winter Storms Cause Property Damage in South Park?
12/3/2024 (Permalink)
Our local Centre City/Uptown teams restore storm damage every year in South Park. Certain storm types pose property damage risks in the fall and winter:
Heavy Rainstorms
San Diego can experience significant rain during fall and winter, especially during strong Pacific storms. Heavy rain can lead to localized flooding, water intrusion, and erosion around homes. Poor drainage, clogged gutters, or leaky roofs can exacerbate water damage, leading to leaks and compromised foundations.
Windstorms
Occasional strong wind events during fall and winter can cause damage to roofs, siding, and outdoor structures like fences and patios. Windstorms can also knock down trees, power lines, and create flying debris, which can damage windows and vehicles.
Thunderstorms
Though less common in winter, thunderstorms do occur in San Diego. These storms can bring lightning, strong winds, and heavy rain. Lightning strikes can lead to power surges or fires, while strong winds may damage roofs or outdoor structures. Thunderstorms can also cause flash flooding in lower-lying areas.
Coastal Storms
South Park's proximity to the coast makes it vulnerable to coastal storms, which can bring high winds and heavy rain. Although rare, El Niño patterns can increase the severity of these storms, leading to coastal flooding and erosion, which may impact homes near the coast or those with poor drainage.
