We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Lane County.

Our local North Eugene and Northwest Lane County teams restore windstorm damage every year in Eugene. While windstorms in Eugene may not be as frequent or severe as those in coastal or gorge areas, they can still pose property and public safety risks to homes and commercial businesses.

During the spring months, windstorms may occur due to several atmospheric phenomena, including frontal passages, low-pressure systems, or local pressure gradients. These windstorms can bring gusty winds that have the potential to cause damage to trees, power lines, and structures.

Generally, windstorms during the spring are often characterized by gusts ranging from 30 to 50 miles per hour, although higher gusts are sometimes possible. These winds can result in downed trees, power outages, and disruptions to outdoor activities.

While windstorms in Eugene may not be as extreme as those experienced in other parts of Oregon, residents should still take appropriate precautions to prepare for high winds during the spring months. This may include securing outdoor objects, trimming trees and branches, and being aware of hazards outdoors during windy conditions. Additionally, staying informed about weather forecasts and heeding any advisories or warnings from local authorities can help residents stay safe during windstorms.
