- 184 thunderstorm wind events in five years make wind-rated shingles and proper fastening patterns critical for replacement projects in Tallahassee.
- October, January, and May bring elevated tornado risk. The March 2024 tornado east of Straw Pond and the May 2024 EF-2 tornado near Lake Talquin both caused structural roof damage requiring full replacement.
- August through October tropical storm exposure adds wind and rain load to aging roofs. Replacement projects scheduled before August avoid peak storm months.
- Leon County's median home was built in 1987. Original roofs from that era are past their serviceable lifespan and vulnerable to the next wind event.
- Properties near Lake Talquin face direct tornado paths, as seen in the May 2024 touchdowns at Williams Landing and the eastern shore. Replacement material selection should account for wind zone ratings.
