Wind can uproot trees or break branches, causing them to fall on homes and result in serious structural damage. A fallen tree or branch can puncture the roof, damage walls, or even compromise the foundation depending on the impact's severity. Broken windows and damaged siding are also common, leaving the home vulnerable to water infiltration and further weather-related issues. Additionally, the debris from the tree or branch may block access points or create safety hazards for occupants. Prompt removal and repair are essential to prevent further complications, such as mold growth or structural instability.
