Damage Assessment

Alerts across the event reported hail from roughly three-quarter inch up to sizes above golf-ball diameter. Stones of that scale often cause denting to metal surfaces, punctures or bruising to shingles on older roofs, and shattered skylights or window glazing when impacts are concentrated. Vehicles parked outdoors in the storm path are at risk of denting to body panels and glass damage where hail density was high.

Locations reporting radar-detected hail should prioritize inspection of south- and west-facing roof planes and exposed siding panels, where hail impact angles often concentrate. Photographic documentation with a measurable scale and timestamps will support any insurance submissions. No spotter-verified damage reports are included in this alert set; observed effects should be documented before repair work begins.

What Contractors Should Know

Inspect roofs first for broken, split, or delaminated shingles and for granular loss on asphalt shingles. Check metal roofing for dents and seam separation. Record photos of all findings with scales and note roof age and covering type. Prioritize tarping or temporary covers for active leaks and for any penetrations near ventilation stacks or skylights.

For exterior repairs, include measurements of panel dents, damaged trim, and window glazing. Provide itemized estimates that separate temporary stabilization from permanent restoration. Retain all before-and-after photos and field notes keyed to address and approximate impact time. Coordinate with property owners on insurance documentation and provide concise repair timelines.
