Central Texas Weather Alert: What You Need to Know & How to Protect Your Roof
Central Texas Weather Alert: What You Need to Know & How to Protect Your Roof
As of May 2nd, Central Texas is under its first Enhanced Risk designation for severe weather in 2025—and that means it’s time to take your roof seriously.
According to local weather source 512.wx, storms are expected between noon and 6PM today, potentially bringing:
- Tennis ball-sized hail
- 60+ mph wind gusts
- A small chance of tornadoes
The biggest concern? Hail—and lots of it. If you live in the Austin, Burnet County, or surrounding areas, your home may be vulnerable to serious roof damage.
What Happened in Burnet County?
Yesterday’s weather already caught many off guard, with weak but sizeable cone tornadoes. Damage reports are still being gathered, but early insights show that the storms “overperformed,” meaning they were stronger than forecast models predicted. And today’s models are even more aggressive.
Why This Matters for Homeowners
If your roof is older, has previous hail damage, or you’ve been putting off maintenance, now is the time to act.
At My Legacy Roofing, we offer:
- Free storm damage inspections
- Fast emergency repairs
- Help with insurance claims
- Reinforced roofing systems designed to resist hail impact
