Goodness Gracious, Great Balls of Ice!

Exciting? Yes. Capable of damage? Absolutely.

Sometimes, once in a very great while, the seemingly endless procession of fluffy white clouds and clear blue skies that usually reside over southern California vanish and give way to darker, more menacing clouds. Rarer still, those clouds will sometimes produce rain, thunder, and lightning. The most rare (at least in the valley and greater LA County) weather event we get is hail. 

Golf ball-sized hunks of ice falling from the sky may seem fun and exotic, but that is an illusion brought on by the infrequency of such weather. Hail is actually fairly destructive and, depending on its size and velocity, sometimes dangerous. In other parts of the country, hail is a common occurrence. It breaks windows, smashes and dents cars, and causes all types of other issues. Here in the southland, we seldom see these effects but they sometimes still happen.

In the unlikely event of ice rocks suddenly falling from the skies and wreaking havoc on your home or business, you will still need someone to come and repair the damage. That someone should be SERVPRO of Walnut. With over ten years of experience in all matters of crazy weather patterns and other types of damage restoration, we can help get your home put back together and make it "Like it never even happened."
