The April 2025 Celina wind report and your roof edges
NOAA recorded a 59-knot gust, about 68 mph, near the Dallas North Tollway and Highway 428 on April 30, 2025. That gives Celina homeowners a useful date to remember. Missing or creased shingles still need a roof inspection to establish the damage and repair.
Where wind gets hold of a shingle roof
Wind flowing over a roof creates pressure differences that can lift shingles, especially near its edges. A loose edge gives air a way underneath a tab. Starter strips, shingle seals and correct fastening work together to resist that uplift.
A tab that folds back can leave a crease even if it settles flat afterward. Missing material and creases deserve a closer look. An unsealed shingle alone is not proof of wind damage, so the roofer considers its condition and the surrounding roof together.
What the roofer looks for after a wind event
The inspection checks for creased or missing shingles, disturbed ridge caps and problems at eaves and rake edges. The extent of damage and the condition of adjoining material determine whether a local repair can tie into a sound roof.
Loose flashing, damaged vents and roof-edge metal also matter because each protects a junction in the roof. Photographs can help explain these small details, but the appearance of one component cannot identify the storm that affected it.
A measured gust is a reason to look, not a finding
The April 30, 2025 record is one of 94 NOAA reports within twelve miles of Celina in the storm history tool. It tells you the wind reached that strength at that point. It does not say what it did on your street or to your roof, and a roof that was tight before the storm may be fine.
If you saw tabs in the yard, heard the roof during the storm or have a slope that faces the open side, the storm and hail damage page explains the roofing damage and repair decisions to discuss after a storm.
