Don’t Ignore Spring Weather Alerts!

4/1/2022 (Permalink)

Go ahead and breathe that sigh of relief for weathering winter without incurring any storm damage to your commercial property; however, keep a close eye on any spring weather alerts that might pop up this season.  

Spring storms can really pack a punch when it comes to the structural integrity of your commercial property. Early spring, especially, is notorious for nor’easters, which can deliver heavy snow, rain, and even gale force winds in excess of 58 miles per hour.

Why are these storms called nor’easters? What does that name even mean? 

According to an article published in The Atlantic, “Why Are There Suddenly So Many Nor’Easters?,” the source of the name is attributed to the wind direction. “During a storm event, it’s the northeast wind that brings the strongest gusts and precipitation to New England.” 

Stay ahead of that troublesome northeast wind this spring by listening for spring weather alerts, and take advantage of tools like SERVPRO’s Emergency Ready Profile to help you weather any storm -- whatever its name! 

Consider this your PSA to pay attention to weather alerts in order to prepare your property and staff for a spring weather event. And remember, your local team at SERVPRO of Danvers / Ipswich is always only a call away.
