- High wind events dominate storm history: Seven high wind events in five years, including a 61 mph gust recorded at Roanoke ASOS in February 2024 that downed power lines across Plantation Road and Tacoma Avenue.
- Hurricane remnants bring unexpected damage: Hurricane Helene in September 2024 downed trees citywide and left a postal worker injured in Hollins when a tree fell during peak winds late Friday morning.
- Older homes face accelerated wear: Roanoke's median home was built in 1959, meaning many roofs are past their 20-year asphalt shingle lifespan and vulnerable to high wind uplift.
- Power outages signal widespread damage: March 2024 wind gusts downed trees and power lines across Salem and Roanoke, leaving 1,000 to 2,000 customers without power and destroying a raptor enclosure at the Southwest Virginia Wildlife Center.
