Roofing in Fort Wayne: local conditions
Fort Wayne roofs face real storm and freeze-thaw stress. A June 2012 derecho brought 91 mph wind gusts, uprooted roughly 500 trees, and caused 2.5 million dollars in damage, while tornadoes have hit the area, including a weak tornado downtown on July 19, 1950 and an EF1 tornado on May 26, 2001. Temperatures swing from a record high of 106 F on June 28, 2012 to a record low of minus 24 F on January 12, 1918, and the greatest calendar-day snowfall was 18.0 in on February 28, 1900, meaning roofs endure heavy snow loads, summer heat, and repeated freeze-thaw cycling. Flooding is also a documented risk, with the 1982 flood forcing evacuation of 9,000 residents and damaging 2,000 buildings.
