Sally vs. roofs, Hwy 231 opening, and this weeks weather – AL.com

From todaysDown in Alabamapodcast:

After a powerful hurricane blows through a Gulf Coast town, one of the common sights from above is the blue-dotted neighborhoods from all the tarps covering damaged roofs.

Once a roof is compromised, wind can get inside and tear out more roof, come through the ceiling, tear sheetrock off the walls and all kinds of bad stuff.

And of course rain gets in and gets blown around and often does as much damage as the wind.

One thing that is believed can make a difference in some of these storms is roofs with the Fortified certification.

Listen to the Down in Alabama podcast episode above to hear more about those Fortified roofs and how the 16,000 of them fared during Hurricane Sally.

Also, we talk about how Highway 231 has been reconnected in Morgan County. And Leigh Morgan joins us to talk about this weeks weather.
