The morning after a bad storm to check for possible hidden damages to the house:

1. **Exterior Inspection**:

   - Walk around the exterior of the house and inspect for any visible damage to the roof, siding, windows, and doors.

   - Look for loose or missing shingles, cracked siding, broken windows, and damaged door frames.

2. **Gutter and Downspout Check**:

   - Examine gutters and downspouts for debris buildup or damage, which could lead to water backup and drainage issues.

3. **Landscaping Assessment**:

   - Check for fallen tree limbs, branches, or debris in the yard that may have damaged the house or landscaping.

4. **Foundation Inspection**:

   - Inspect the foundation for any signs of cracking, shifting, or water pooling around the perimeter of the house.

5. **Interior Examination**:

   - Walk through each room of the house and check for water stains, dampness, or musty odors, which could indicate water intrusion or leaks.

   - Look for signs of water damage on ceilings, walls, and floors, especially in areas near windows or doors.

6. **Attic Inspection**:

   - If accessible, inspect the attic for signs of water leaks, such as damp insulation, water stains, or mold growth.

7. **HVAC System Check**:

   - Inspect the HVAC system for any visible damage or debris buildup, and listen for unusual noises or malfunctions that may have occurred during the storm.

8. **Electrical Inspection**:

   - Check for any exposed or damaged electrical wiring, outlets, or fixtures both inside and outside the house.

9. **Plumbing Assessment**:

   - Inspect plumbing fixtures, pipes, and water heaters for leaks, damage, or signs of water intrusion.

10. **Safety Precautions**:

    - Exercise caution when inspecting the property, especially if there are hazards such as downed power lines, unstable structures, or standing water.

    - Wear appropriate protective gear, such as gloves and sturdy shoes, and consider using a flashlight if inspecting dark or enclosed spaces.
