Storm Stats: Get The Latest In Summer Storms

6/29/2022 (Permalink)

Summer storms bring on a different set of challenges compared to winter or spring storms, and we are here to tackle any misconceptions you may have about storm statistics! The numbers don’t lie, and at SERVPRO of Belle Meade and West Nashville, we make it our mission to stay educated on the top tips and trends in the disaster restoration industry to stay one step ahead of the competition. Suppose your Bellevue home or business is caught in the eye of a storm. In that case, our professionals at SERVPRO arrive at a faster than average speed- after all, minutes matter in the event of a natural disaster! Below, we will talk about some of the key statistics about summer storms and storm damage you should know before getting into our team’s training and experience. 

What Are Some Of The Most Common Summer Storm Statistics You Should Know?

• According to the NOAA, there were 1,376 tornadoes in 2021 compared to 1,075 tornadoes in 2020. 
• Convective storms, the underlying catalyst that drives tornadoes, thunderstorms with lightning, and winds, happen because of warm, moist air that rises from the earth’s core. These storms are not only the most common, but they are also the most expensive, with $17 billion every year (on average!) going towards rebuilding homes and businesses from their damage. 
• On average, one thousand tornadoes are reported nationwide, with Tennessee ranking sixth among the top 10 states by number of tornadoes. 

What Kinds Of Training And Certifications Do We Hold? 

• Once you contact us, you can keep calm, knowing that you are in good hands! All of our technicians are trained at the SERVPRO Corporate facility, and after the initial training period, continuous education is prioritized. 
• Are you familiar with IICRC certifications? It’s only the most prominent organization that sets the standards for the cleaning and restoration industry! Our professionals study best practices in water, fire, mold damage, and other cleaning and restoration courses. 
• Our staff also has access to web-based training where they can sharpen their skills on industry requirements and professionalism. All course content is supported by video presentations and a knowledge test at the end of each module. 

As you can gather from above, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes activity to get our team equipped to make it “Like it never even happened!” Thunderstorms triggered by heat are an issue during the summer months, and it’s essential to be conscious of the area you are in and whether you have taken all the proper precautions to make sure you and your loved ones are safe.
