It is always a great idea to make sure your home is secure and there are no holes or cracks that could let water in during a storm. Even the smallest amounts of moisture can cause mold to grow and spread within 24 hours. Mold is a tricky problem that needs to be handled by the professionals! 

You might not think storms can cause house fires, but using candles when the power goes out can lead to your house being engulfed in flames. Storms can also cause tress and power lines to go down causing electrical fires. Make sure your home is well-equipped with smoke alarms that are in working order. If your house suffers a house fire it can end up having extensive smoke and soot damage, as shown in this picture.

A water damaged ceiling is unsightly and dangerous. Before you can repair the ceiling you must locate the issue that is causing the water damage first. If you repair the ceiling without fixing any underlying issues you are asking for a repeat situation. If you plan to locate the source of the problem yourself, be sure to shut off the electricity and water flow in your home.
