About Dunn County, WI
Dunn County sits in the rolling, partly wooded farm country of west-central Wisconsin, in the drainage of the Red Cedar and Chippewa rivers. Hail is occasional and tends to stay small, falling from the warm-season storms that develop along fronts sweeping through the region. The La Crosse (KARX) radar is distant, about 85 miles to the southeast, so it reads the upper structure of storms over the county better than conditions near the ground.

It can be. Asphalt shingles can begin showing functional damage in the ¾-to-1-inch range, and Dunn County's confirmed hail reaches 1.5″. At these sizes damage is often hard to see from the ground, so whether it's a claimable loss depends on shingle type, age, and an inspection.

What this means for your home
Damage can be invisible from the ground
At Dunn County's typical sizes, hail often bruises shingles and loosens granules without obvious holes, shortening roof life in ways that are easy to miss until the next storm or an inspection.
Document before you repair
If you suspect hail damage, photograph it and note the storm's date before making any repairs. Undocumented or already-fixed damage is much harder to claim later.
Keep a 'before' record
Photos of your roof and exterior in good condition make new hail damage much easier to prove later. A few shots now, before the next storm, can save an argument with an adjuster over what's old wear and what's storm damage.
Get more than one estimate
After a damaging storm, reputable local roofers get busy and out-of-town crews flood in. Get multiple written estimates and verify licensing and local references before signing anything.
Replacement cost vs. actual cash value
An RCV policy pays to replace your roof at today's prices; an ACV policy subtracts depreciation for the roof's age, which can mean a much smaller check on an older roof. Knowing which you carry shapes what a hail claim is actually worth.
Claims have deadlines
Policies set a deadline for hail-damage claims, and state law may also apply. Windows range from months to several years depending on your state and policy. Knowing the exact date hail hit your address helps you file on time.
