About this data

Storm 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. A report means hail or wind was observed nearby, not that any particular home was damaged. City figures count reports within 10 miles of the city center. DamageScore is not affiliated with NOAA or the National Weather Service. How we use this data
