Severe weather comes in many forms, but straight-line winds may cause more property damage than you think.
Most people think about hurricanes or tornadoes, but according to Meteorologists at WCNC in Charlotte, straight-line winds are the source for more frequent damage reports most years.
Thunderstorms that produce strong winds can move through an area and push down trees, power lines, and cause significant roof damage.

One of the most damaging types of storms is called a derecho. A storm is classified as a derecho when the swath of damage extends 240 miles or more and has wind gusts of 58 miles per hour or more.
Another common cause of wind damage is a downburst. This is caused when "air is dragged down by precipitation. Wind speeds can reach up to 100 miles per hour, and when it slams into the ground, the wind spreads outward across the service.
