Tornado Season in Granbury: Why You Should Prep Your House (Even If You're Busy Filming the Twister)

Granbury, Texas, is in the heart of Tornado Alley.

Let’s be honest, Granbury...

Tornado season rolls around, and you can spot the newcomers a mile away: They’re panic-buying bottled water, diving into the cellar, and crying over their first weather alert.

Meanwhile, the locals? We’re out on the porch, sweet tea in hand, yelling “It’s headin’ east!” while recording a TikTok of the funnel cloud.

Yeah... we get used to it. But here’s the thing: even if you laugh in the face of swirling death winds, your house probably isn’t laughing. And that’s where I come in.

I’m your local handyman — The Honey Do Daddy — and I’m here to help you stormproof your home so that you can keep filming tornadoes like a pro without losing your roof in the process.

1. Your Lawn Furniture Wants to Travel

Patio chairs. Kiddie pools. That metal flamingo you thought was cute.

Tornadoes treat unsecured stuff like confetti.

I’ll help anchor, store, or secure your outdoor gear before your grill lands in Glen Rose.

2. Seal the Cracks Before the Wind Does It for You

Loose windows and janky doors don’t stand a chance when a storm rolls through.

I can reseal, replace weatherstripping, and make sure your doors don’t flap open like you’re inviting the tornado in for coffee.

3. Trim Those ‘Death Branches’

One good gust and that overhanging limb is either on your roof or in your living room.

I don’t do tree removal, but I do handle those widow-maker branches that are just asking to fall.

4. Reinforce Your Garage Door (Seriously, This One’s Big)

If your garage door caves in, the wind gets inside, and your house becomes a balloon. Not a metaphor. A literal wind-filled, exploding balloon.

I can brace and beef up your garage door so it’s more Texas Tough, less tumbleweed.

5. Gutters, Shingles, Siding — the Tornado Trifecta

If it’s already flapping, it’s about to fly.

I’ll patch loose siding, replace rogue shingles, and screw down those sketchy gutters that are hanging on for dear life.

6. Storm Shelters Aren’t Just for Screaming

Look, if you are one of the folks who likes to hide in the closet until it’s over, good for you!

But let’s make that space useful: Emergency shelves, flashlight mounts, even a snack cubby (because tornadoes always strike when you’re hangry).

I’ll trick out your safe space, so it doesn’t feel like a broom closet.

7. Storm’s Over? Call Me for the Aftermath

Once the winds die down and your neighbor’s trampoline is in your backyard, I offer:

Fence repair
Window and door replacement
Roof patches
Light debris clean-up (Again, light debris. I’m not hauling Aunt Linda’s collection of yard gnomes.)
