Staying Safe During Severe Thunderstorms in Hesperia?

We are storm damage restoration leaders in San Bernardino County.

Our local Hesperia/Apple Valley, Barstow/Twentynine Palms, and Victorville teams restore storm damage 24/7, 365 days a year. Hesperia, located in the high desert region of San Bernardino County, experiences a range of weather patterns, including severe thunderstorms, so it's important to take precautions to stay safe when these storms strike.

Before a storm hits, secure any outdoor furniture, decorations, or loose objects that could become projectiles in strong winds. If you are driving during a storm, avoid flooded roads and seek shelter quickly. Heavy rain can cause flash flooding, particularly in low-lying areas, so always follow local warnings and evacuation orders.

When a storm is underway, it’s important to remain inside and keep a safe distance from windows. Strong winds during thunderstorms have the potential to break glass or cause damage to your home. To protect your electronics, disconnect any electrical devices to avoid power surges from lightning strikes. If you find yourself outdoors without access to shelter, steer clear of tall objects like trees or utility poles, as they can be more likely to attract lightning.

Once the storm has passed, be cautious when inspecting your property for damage. Avoid downed power lines and report them to the local utility company. You can minimize risks and stay safe during severe thunderstorms by staying prepared and informed.
