Expert Restoration is Needed to Salvage a Storm Damaged Building Mother nature can be brutal when she unleashes the wind and the rain. The combination of these two forces can do unimaginable damage in a short amount of time. While storm warnings are issued on both radio and television broadcasts as soon as they are received, there are times when the damage caused by a weather event cannot be avoided.
