What counts as a severe storm
The National Weather Service issues a severe thunderstorm warning for hail 1 inch or larger or winds of 58 mph or more. Those are the storms most likely to damage roofs, gutters, and siding, which is why the ZIP lookup counts wind days at 58 mph and up.
A storm report means hail or wind was observed near you, not that your home was damaged. Damage depends on the hail's size and density, the wind, and your roof's age and material. The only way to know is to look.

After a storm: what to check
About this data
Reports come from the National Weather Service, published in NOAA's Storm Events Database, through June 30, 2026. NOAA publishes them about 3 to 4 months after each storm. DamageScore is not affiliated with NOAA or the National Weather Service. How we use this data
AI estimate, not an inspection. This score comes from a photo, and a photo can't show everything. Whatever the score, always have a licensed professional inspect the damage before you make repair, safety, or insurance decisions. Cost ranges are typical figures for your area, not quotes. We never tell you whether to file an insurance claim.
