Our local St. Clair Shores team has been restoring storm damage in the Grosse Pointe Shores area for many years. Grosse Pointe Shores, located on the shores of Lake St. Clair, faces unique challenges from summer storms. The lake's proximity influences weather patterns, often intensifying storms and increasing the potential for damage. Thunderstorms can develop rapidly during the summer, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds, and lightning.

One significant issue is flooding. The area's flat topography and extensive network of canals make it prone to water accumulation during heavy rains. Flooded streets and basements are typical, leading to water damage in homes and businesses. The lake's high water levels can exacerbate this problem, as stormwater has nowhere to drain, causing prolonged flooding and infrastructure damage.

High winds are another concern, often resulting in downed trees and power lines. This disrupts the power supply and poses safety hazards for residents. The lakeshore can experience severe erosion during storms, impacting waterfront properties and public spaces. Local efforts to combat these issues include improving stormwater management systems, reinforcing shoreline protections, and conducting community awareness programs.
