8/15/2019 (Permalink)

Maine has seen its first tornado of the 2019 year. Usually they get about a few tornadoes each year. A couple hours ago there were reports of an EF1 tornado touching Washington County. The tornado hit two areas at about 5:40PM. It ventured about a half mile.

Tornadoes are not as common as storms, but can still leave a lot of damage and debris behind, which is why we offer tree removal and building services. In fact, most deaths and injuries occur from flying debris. It is important to seek shelter in a structurally-secure building. SERVPRO of The Attleboros services include installing roof tarps, board-ups, tree removal, roofing services, general contracting, and installing temporary fencing to keep your residential or commercial business safe.
