Storm Damage in Deerfield Resort?

10/4/2021 (Permalink)

Trees are blown over from a storm. We mitigate storm damage 24-hours a day in Campbell County.

When a tree falls in Deerfield Resort, does it make a sound?

When my vacation home in Norris Lake was damaged by a tree during a recent storm, I had to act fast. The tree crashed into the side of the house, damaging the roof and siding, and a window was broken. SERVPRO® of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties sent a team out right away. They assessed the damage and contacted the insurance adjuster. They tarped the roof to minimize the chance of more water intrusion and boarded up the broken window. They took down the fallen tree and removed the debris and tree limbs. They repaired the damaged roof, replaced the broken window, and replaced the damaged siding. The interior damage was cleaned and restored, and the drying process was documented to ensure the area was returned to normal humidity levels. Now, you would never know that a tree had fallen on my house!

SERVPRO® of Campbell, Claiborne, Scott, and Union Counties respond to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day, every day in Speedwell. The Powell Valley Electric Cooperative offers some great information on how to survive during a flood:

  • Depending on where you are, and the impact and the warning time of flooding, go to the safe location that you previously identified
  • If told to evacuate, do so immediately. Never drive around barricades. Local responders use them to safely direct traffic out of flooded areas.
  • Listen to Emergency Alert System (EAS), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio, or local alerting systems for current emergency information and instructions
  • Do not walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. Turn-Around. Don’t Drown!
  • Stay off bridges over fast-moving water. Fast-moving water can wash bridges away without warning.
  • If your vehicle is trapped in rapidly moving water, then stay inside. If water is rising inside the vehicle, then seek refuge on the roof.
  • If trapped in a building, then go to its highest level. Do not climb into a closed attic. You may become trapped by rising floodwater. Go on the roof only if necessary. Once there, signal for help.

  • Identify a safe place in your home where household members and pets will gather during a tornado: a basement, storm cellar, or an interior room on the lowest floor with no windows
  • In a high-rise building, pick a hallway in the center of the building. You may not have enough time to go to the lowest floor. 
  • In a mobile home, choose a safe place in a nearby sturdy building. If your mobile home park has a designated shelter, make it your safe place. No mobile home, however it is configured, is safe in a tornado.
  • A tornado watch means a tornado is possible
