What Happened

The storm moved through the Doniphan area late on June 21 and into the early hours of June 22. The National Weather Service issued two separate warning-area alerts for hail.

Damage Assessment

NWS alerts for this storm did not include spotter-verified damage reports. Hail this size typically produces minor, surface-level effects. Expect fine pitting on vehicle paint and small dents on unsupported aluminum trim where impacts were frequent. Asphalt shingle roofs may show superficial granule loss on exposed slopes. Soft materials such as vinyl siding and outer foliage are the most likely locations for visible impact marks. Photographic documentation is necessary to differentiate pre-existing wear from new impact marks in claims and repair estimates.

What Contractors Should Know

Prioritize visual inspections in properties located within the warning-area polygons issued during the overnight period. Start with vehicle fleets and exposed mechanical equipment, then inspect roof coverings for granule loss and localized bruising on shingles. Record GPS-tagged photos and note timestamps. Use consistent nomenclature in estimates: location, roof slope, material, visible granule loss, and approximate impacted area in square feet.

For scheduling and repair planning, group work by proximity to the NWS warning polygons and radar hail track density. Triage small cosmetic repairs separately from any sections showing substrate exposure or membrane compromise. Prepare scope-of-work documents that include before-and-after imagery and a short description tying observed damage to the June 21–22 nocturnal event. Coordinate photo logs with adjusters to expedite small-claim settlements.
