Whether hail reached your exact roof depends on where you sit within the footprint, and an address check shows what NOAA radar detected over your location.
How big was the hail in this storm?
Radar confirmed hail up to 4″ (grapefruit) in this system. Sizes varied by area, so check the breakdown below.
When did this storm happen?

How do I document this storm for an insurance claim?
Photograph any damage and note the date, then confirm what radar recorded at your address. Most policies require prompt notice and deadlines vary, so a dated radar record can help support the timeline. Hail over an area doesn't guarantee damage to any specific property. Only an inspection confirms that.
