Case Study: Foam Roof Minimizes Tornado Damage at Texas Warehouse
On Oct. 20, 2019, 10 twisters ripped through the storm line of North and Central Texas, making it one of the costliest tornado events in Texas history. Thankfully, there were zero fatalities reported, but there was extensive damage to property, resulting in over $2 billion of insurance claims.
One particular building that took direct hits from an EF-2 tornado was a wholesale depot warehouse in Garland County. This 1 million-square-foot horseshoe shaped depot was in the path of the tornado’s 2.48 mile trek through Garland.
