Local storm history
Why Ephrata roofs take a beating
The Pacific states are shaped less by hail than by wind and water: powerful winter wind and atmospheric-river storms drive rain intrusion and tree strikes across the Northwest and California, while heat and sun accelerate roof wear that a single wind event can expose. In Ephrata and the surrounding Grant County area, wind and atmospheric-river rain damage is most common during the winter wind-and-rain storm 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.
