Mirando City, TX Hail Storm – November 2025

Mirando City, TX saw a concluded hail storm on November 26, 2025, with peak hail verified at 4 inches.

What Happened

The storm produced a cluster of six hail alerts between 9:26 PM CST and 11:10 PM CST. Early radar detections showed 1.75-inch hail at 9:26 PM CST, then 3-inch hail at 9:45 PM CST. The peak came at 9:59 PM CST, when dual-polarization radar showed confidence in 4-inch hail.

Later alerts held at 1 inch at 10:37 PM CST, 11:01 PM CST, and 11:10 PM CST. The sequence shows a storm that reached major hail size early, then continued to produce smaller hail signals as it moved through the warning area.

All six alerts carried dual-polarization radar confidence. The hail reports were extracted from the NWS alert set tied to this event.

Damage Assessment

A 4-inch hailstone can crack or puncture older asphalt shingles, bruise metal roofing, dent gutters, and break skylights. Vehicles parked in the open are exposed to roof, hood, and glass damage. Lightweight patio covers, vents, and soft metal trim are also vulnerable.

The 3-inch and 1.75-inch hail alerts point to a broad range of impact within the storm path. Properties that took the larger stones likely show concentrated roof and vehicle damage. Sites that only saw the smaller hail may still have visible dents, scuffs, and broken accessories, especially on exposed surfaces and east or south facing sides.

Inspection crews should expect damage to vary by roof age, pitch, and exposure time under the heaviest hail core. Soft metals and horizontal surfaces usually show the first clear signs. Granule loss on shingles may be present even where punctures are absent.

What Contractors Should Know

Field crews should start with roofs, gutters, downspouts, condensers, and exterior trim. On a 4-inch hail event, soft metal checks matter as much as shingle checks. Record roof slope, material type, and impact pattern before cleanup begins. Photograph all elevations and the first layer of visible defects.

Use the earliest high-end alert times as the main reference for dispatch order. The heaviest hail signal came at 9:59 PM CST, so structures closest to that part of the storm path should move first in the queue. Scan vehicle lots, RV pads, and outbuildings alongside residential roofs. Agricultural and light commercial sites in the warning area may show mixed damage depending on exposure and shelter.

For estimates, separate cosmetic dents from functional roof damage. Check for bruising, lifted tabs, cracked pipe boots, damaged flashing, and compromised seals around vents and skylights. On metal roofs, look for oil canning, punctures, and seam distortion. On flat roofs, inspect membranes, edge metal, and drain components.

Crews working Mirando City should also watch for repeat inspections where the 1-inch hail later in the event may have added incremental impacts to already damaged properties. Document every address with the same inspection standard, even where exterior damage is not obvious at street level.
