Damage Assessment

Radar alerts during the event reported hail in the 0.9–1.5 inch range across the Hulett town area and adjacent rural addresses. Hail of these sizes commonly produces vehicle denting and damage to asphalt shingles where roofs are older or previously weathered. Residential siding, exposed HVAC equipment, and unprotected skylights in town are at elevated risk for impact marks.

Local, on-the-ground impacts reported after the storm included dented vehicle panels within Hulett and scattered shingle loss on north- and east-facing roof slopes. Photographs and address-level observations are being collected for field verification. Property owners should prioritize documented inspections where radar-detected signatures crossed populated addresses in the hulett-wy metro.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize safety and documentation. Start with a visual exterior inspection from the ground. Photograph vehicle and roof damage with a scale reference and capture GPS or address information. Note the alert timestamps that correspond to your inspection area. For roofing, focus initial checks on older asphalt shingles, ridge caps, and flashing. Inspect guttering, downspouts, and metal trim for round dents that indicate impact size.
