The circumstances behind the incident across the Atlantic may rile Texans in much worse fashion, especially residents of west Texas. The Lone Star State is no stranger to powerful winds, being part of Tornado Alley; in fact, West Texans may have the memory of Hurricane Claudette fresh in their minds. As such, hunkering down and intensive preparations are a part of daily life there. When your house has gone through an experience not unlike the rip-roar at Epsom Downs Racecourse, repairing it is a job for West Texas roofing specialists like the Charles Terry Construction Co.
High winds can deal more damage in almost the same time as a heavy downpour, and the speed is a critical factor. A weather station reported that the gusts of wind recorded on Christmas Eve were estimated at 47.9 miles per hour. The wind tolerances of the racecourse’s aluminum roofing sheets were not immediately disclosed but the speed turned out to be too much for them. A local weather expert claims that the roof’s design and the venue’s elevated location were what allowed the wind to lift the sheets up.
