Monsoon microburst tears shingles across Westside
A wet microburst hit the Westside and Rio Rancho corridor around 7:15p, ripping 3-tab and older 30-year shingles and turning skylights into leak sources overnight. Wind claims are typically approved faster than hail — call your carrier and get a claim number before you call any roofer.
