Corpus Christi Hurricane Preparedness: Protect Your Home
Understanding Hurricane Season: June 1 - Nov. 30
Carla. Beulah. Celia. Amelia. Allen. Bret. Harvey. Hanna. These are tropical storms and hurricanes that have impacted the Corpus Christi area over the decades. According to hurricanecity.com, the city is statistically expected to be impacted by another hurricane by the end of 2024. Hurricane season officially runs from June 1 through Nov. 30 of every year.
Of course, no one knows when the next storm will upend the lives of thousands, even millions, of people along the Texas coast. Flash flooding, thunderstorms, tropical depressions, and tropical storms also damage homes, businesses, and infrastructure.
At Lighthouse Roofing, we believe in taking care of our neighbors in times of disaster.
Prepare for Dangerous Weather in Corpus Christi
Don’t wait for a stormy forecast to take steps to keep yourself and your family safe.
Establish an evacuation plan. Find out where your closest emergency shelters are located. Because some routes can be blocked or closed, map out multiple ways to reach the shelters. Work out in advance how and where you will meet up with family members if you are separated when you need to evacuate. If you have pets, plan for them as well. Some shelters will allow pets.
Register special needs with local agencies. The elderly, disabled, and chronically ill are particularly vulnerable in a storm. Register family members who need special assistance during evacuations. Tell your power company if you or a family member is homebound and requires electricity for medical equipment. Those on oxygen should check with their provider about emergency procedures.
Assemble an emergency kit. A comprehensive emergency kit contains items to help with injuries, nutrition, hydration, and other needs. Include a gallon of water per person, per day, non-perishable food, a flashlight, battery-powered radio, a first-aid kit, medications, and supplies for infants or pets (if applicable). Have an emergency contact list with at least one person who is outside the area of impact. Other important items include a multi-purpose tool, personal hygiene items, extra cash, blankets, and cell phone chargers. Copies of critical papers can also be helpful.

"I highly recommend Lighthouse Roofing & Exteriors LLC, for chimney repairs, this area is limited for this service, and will use them for roof repairs in the future."
We had a week of heavy rainfall, so covering it was very beneficial. After the heavy rains, he came by to install the chimney cap and chase, also repaired damaged stucco. After a recent rain event, my fireplace was leak free.
