Local storm history
Why Prestonsburg roofs take a beating
This is the heart of "Dixie Alley," where a spring and a second late-fall severe season bring violent tornadoes, damaging straight-line winds, and hail. Gulf-adjacent areas add tropical-storm exposure, so homeowners here see both wind and water intrusion claims. In Prestonsburg and the surrounding Floyd County area, tornadoes and damaging wind damage is most common during the spring and late-fall severe seasons. Because storm damage is highly localized, one side of a ZIP can be hit hard while the next street is untouched — a free inspection is the only way to know.
