Storm record · Bertie County
Bertie County's record includes 6 tornadoes
What the public record says about roofs in Powellsville and the rest of Bertie County
Between 2016 and 2026 NOAA logged 34 roof-relevant storm events in Bertie County: 20 thunderstorm wind, 8 hail and 6 tornadoes. The strongest straight-line gust on file is 50 kt, on Mar 31, 2017.
Tornado damage is different in kind from everything else in this record. It is narrow — a track a few hundred yards wide can take the roofs off one street and leave the next street untouched — and inside the track the failure is structural rather than cosmetic: decking lifted off the rafters, whole roof planes removed, debris driven through what is left. For the far larger number of homes that sit outside the track, the damage is the same physics as any severe-wind event: pressure at the edges lifting tabs along the eaves and rakes, ridge caps displaced, and impact marks from debris carried out of the track. Both are worth looking at after a tornado-producing system crosses the county, and the dated entries below say when those systems came through.
The $1,548,500 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Bertie County from these storms, 2016–2026 — a county-wide reporting total. It is not the cost of a roof, and it is not an amount paid to any property owner.

FORTIFIED on the coast · Bertie County
Hail to 2.75 in here, and a standard that answers the wind
Bertie County is in North Carolina’s CAMA coastal area — why the standard keeps coming up on roofs in Powellsville
The largest hail in the Bertie County file is Softball+ hail at 2.75 in, on May 31, 2019. The rest of the record is wind: 20 thunderstorm-wind events out of 34 roof-relevant events between 2016 and 2026, against 8 hail events and 6 tornadoes. The strongest gust in the file is 50 kt, measured on Mar 31, 2017.
A wind standard will not make a shingle hail-proof, and no roof standard does. What FORTIFIED changes is what happens after the covering is damaged: a sealed roof deck keeps water out of the house when shingles are gone, and ring-shank attachment in the enhanced pattern with a locked-down edge keeps the deck itself on the rafters once the roof has been opened up.
FORTIFIED is a voluntary resilience construction standard published by IBHS — a way of building a roof and documenting how it was built, not a warranty, a claims service, or a promise about any storm. Carolina Trophy Roofs is a FORTIFIED certified roofer: we build to the standard and photograph the concealed work. The evaluator has to be a separate party from the installing roofer, and IBHS issues the designation after reviewing what that evaluator submits.
