What Affects Rates in Memphis
- Straight-line winds are the dominant threat—March and June 2023 events exceeded 70 mph in Bartlett, Millington, and southeast Memphis neighborhoods, splitting trees and damaging structures.
- The February 2022 ice storm created one of the region's worst power outage events in history, with ice weight collapsing tree limbs onto rooflines throughout Shelby County.
- Shelby County's median home was built in 1977, meaning most roofs are at or past typical asphalt shingle lifespan when storm damage accelerates wear.
- Memphis doesn't have a single storm window—damaging events occur from winter ice to summer supercell thunderstorms, requiring year-round material durability.
