What has actually hit your address
Enter your address and see every hail and wind event the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has on record near it since 2019. This is the same public data an adjuster can pull. It takes about three seconds and we do not ask for anything to show it to you.
How to read this, honestly
NOAA logs storm events where somebody reported them. A trained spotter, a law enforcement officer, a member of the public, or an insurance report. That means the map is a record of reports, not a record of every stone that fell.
So a quiet result near your address is not proof that your roof was never hit, and a report a mile away is not proof that it was. Hail falls in narrow, uneven bands. Two houses on the same street can have completely different damage.
What the report is genuinely good for is the date. If you know a 1.5 inch event passed within three miles of you on a specific afternoon, you know which date to put on a claim, and you know whether you are still inside your carrier’s reporting window. That is usually the piece homeowners are missing.
What we do with it
Nothing automatically. We do not file a claim on your behalf off a map. If the dates look meaningful we will come out, get on the roof, shoot test squares on every slope, and document what is actually up there. Then you decide whether there is a claim worth filing.
Commercial and multifamily work the same way, with the added step of core sampling where the assembly matters. That is covered on the commercial storm damage page.
FAQ
Common questions
Where does this data come from?
The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, which is public domain federal data. Address matching uses the United States Census Bureau geocoder. Neither is a paid service, which is why this tool is free and will stay free.
Is this the same as a hail report an adjuster uses?
It overlaps but it is not identical. Carriers often buy radar-derived products that estimate hail size across a grid rather than at reported points. Those are modelled estimates. NOAA reports are observed reports. Both are used in claims, and an observed report on a specific date is generally the harder of the two to argue with.
My address shows nothing. Does that mean my roof is fine?
No. It means nobody filed a report within fifteen miles in that period. Hail bands are narrow and rural areas in particular get under-reported because there is nobody there to report. If your shingles are showing granule loss, bruising or mat fracture, the roof is telling you something the database does not know.
Will checking my address start a claim or put me on a list?
No. Looking up a date does nothing to your policy and nothing to your rates. We do not submit anything anywhere on your behalf, and we do not sell or share what you type here.
How far back does it go?
January 2019 to the most recent NOAA publication. Ohio only. Most carriers have a reporting window measured in months to a year from the date of loss, so events older than that are usually historical context rather than a live claim.
Dates on a map are a starting point, not an answer
The roof settles it. We inspect, document every slope with test squares, and give you a written scope whether there is a claim in it or not.
