What drying runs into in Lawton
Serving Lawton and the surrounding area, including Downtown.
Local housing stock
Roughly 30,685 of Lawton's 39,789 homes went up before 1990, putting the median build year at 1973; what dries in place and what comes out follows from that. The median house dates to 1973 and 77.1 percent predate 1990, frame with brick veneer on slabs and crawl spaces under composition roofs, so a hail-opened roof lets the next storm into the ceiling before any repair can be scheduled.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Lawton gets 34.18 inches a year with May heaviest at 4.95, and the drying season runs from a 39.6-degree January to a 84-degree July; both figures recorded at LAWTON, 2.1 miles away. May is the wettest month at 4.95 inches out of 34.18 for the year, with July highs near 96 degrees, so the storm season brings the hail and the rain together and the heat that follows drives whatever got in deeper.
How water losses tend to end in Lawton
- Hail opening a roof covering, so the following storm is what actually wets the ceiling
- Temporary covering left too long while roofing work is backed up after a storm
- Summer heat driving moisture into ceiling material between the storm and the response
