Local storm history
Why Gering roofs take a beating
The central Plains sit in one of the most active severe-storm corridors in the country. From spring through summer, dryline and cold-front supercells drop large hail, blast 60–90 mph straight-line winds, and spin up tornadoes — a combination that makes roof replacement routine here. In Gering and the surrounding Scotts Bluff County area, hail and damaging wind damage is most common during the spring and summer severe season. 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.
