Local storm history
Why Penn Yan roofs take a beating
The Mid-Atlantic sees powerful wind events year-round — nor'easters and winter storms in the cold season, severe thunderstorms and the remnants of Atlantic tropical systems in summer and fall. Wind-stripped shingles and tree damage drive most claims here. In Penn Yan and the surrounding Yates County area, wind and nor'easters damage is most common during the summer severe season and winter nor'easters. 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.
