Hail Damage Risk for Your Home +

Hail reports describe hail by diameter, often comparing stone size to familiar objects like peas, quarters, golf balls, and softballs. Use this guide as a starting point for possible hail damage to your roof, siding, gutters, vents, windows, and exterior. Actual hail damage depends on hail hardness, density, wind speed, impact angle, roof age, shingle condition, roof pitch, roofing material, installation quality, and prior storm damage.

Pea

0.25″

Low

Usually too small to cause hail damage to most sound asphalt roofs, siding, or gutters.

Mothball

0.50″

Sub-Severe Watch

Below the NWS severe-hail threshold, but not always harmless. Repeated small hail can scuff surfaces, wear aging shingles, and loosen protective granules over time.

Penny

0.75″

Minor / Watch

Below the NWS severe-hail threshold, but roof hail damage is still possible on older, brittle, poorly installed, or previously damaged shingles. May also mark screens, vents, gutters, and soft metal.

Nickel

0.88″

Minor / Watch

Still below the severe-hail threshold, but large enough to leave visible marks on soft metal and add wear to older or hail-weakened roof shingles.

Quarter

1.00″

Watch

The NWS severe-hail threshold. Quarter-size hail can bruise shingles, dent soft metal, and create roof hail damage worth checking.

Half Dollar

1.25″

Watch

More likely to dent gutters, vents, flashing, and siding. Hail damage risk rises quickly on older roofs or hail-weakened shingles.

Ping Pong / Walnut

1.50″

Likely

Hail damage becomes more likely, including bruised shingles, granule loss, dented siding, and damaged roof vents.

Golf Ball

1.75″

Likely

Often causes roof hail damage, cracked shingles, dented gutters, damaged flashing, and siding impacts. A roof inspection is recommended.

Hen Egg

2.00″

Serious

Can crack or puncture shingles, expose mat, dent siding, and cause widespread hail damage across the roof and exterior.

Tennis Ball

2.50″

Serious

Can cause heavy roof hail damage, punctured siding, broken skylights, damaged vents, and widespread exterior damage.

Baseball

2.75″

Major

Major hail damage is likely, including severe roof impacts, damaged siding, broken windows, and possible major roof repairs.

Tea Cup / Large Apple

3.00″

Major

Can cause heavy hail damage across the roof, siding, gutters, windows, and exterior. Significant repairs are often needed.

Softball

4.00″

Extreme

Destructive hail damage. Can severely damage roofing materials, siding, windows, gutters, vents, vehicles, and exterior surfaces.

Grapefruit

4.50″

Extreme

Catastrophic hail damage risk for roofs, windows, vehicles, siding, gutters, and exterior surfaces.

Source: NOAA / National Weather Service hail size references are used for hail-size comparisons and the 1.00″ severe-hail threshold. Damage descriptions are general homeowner guidance, not official NOAA/NWS damage ratings. Sub-severe hail under 1.00″ is below the severe threshold, but that does not mean “no roof damage.” Penny- to nickel-size hail can still contribute to granule loss, cosmetic surface marks, and added wear, especially on older, brittle, poorly installed, or previously damaged roofs.

Wind Damage Risk for Your Home +

Storm reports list thunderstorm wind gusts in mph. The NWS marks storms as severe at 58+ mph, but wind damage to your home depends on roof age, shingle condition, installation, exposure, nearby trees, and prior hail or wind damage.

Below Severe

Under 58 mph

Minor

Usually little damage to a sound roof, but loose shingles, flashing, or debris may shift.

Severe

58–74 mph

Watch

Can loosen shingles, lift flashing, break limbs, and damage gutters, siding, fences, or trim.

Damaging

75–90 mph

Serious

Can peel shingles, damage vents, tear siding, rip gutters, and expose weak roof areas.

Extreme

90+ mph

Major

Can cause major roof covering loss, tree damage, broken windows, and structural damage.

Source: NOAA / National Weather Service storm reports. Gusts may be measured or estimated; actual wind damage varies by roof condition, exposure, and prior hail or wind damage.

Christian County · 19,313 Homes in County

Tornado Report Description: Several eyewitnesses including at least a half dozen policemen or firemen had nearly identical reports of very narrow rope shaped vortices descending to the ground briefly. There were at least two separate occurrences in the Oak Grove area with another occurring adjacent to the Fort Campbell air field. A 52 MPH wind was reported at the air field, although it was not thought to be in the direct path of the funnel cloud. Some descriptions sounded like the funnel clouds formed in conjunction with towering cumulus clouds instead of cumulonimbus clouds (thunderstorms). Nobody remembered hearing any thunder although a minority reported some rain. A television station in Hopkinsville obtained videotape of the Oak Grove tornado. The primary damage was in a mobile home park, where a mobile home was overturned and destroyed. Two occupants of the mobile home were slightly injured, but did not require treatment at any hospital. Other mobile homes in the park were slightly damaged. An estimated 130,000 dollars damage occurred at the Fort Campbell Army Post due to a brief funnel touchdown. Most of the damage at the base occurred in the shop area of the Directorate of Logistics building, where it tore off the roof, exposing expensive test equipment. The upper part of a wall in an adjacent building was damaged.

Tornado Report Description: A tornado touched down on the Tennessee side of Ft. Campbell, about a mile from the Kentucky border. The tornado tore into some buildings in the vicinity of the Directorate of Logistics, which is just inside of Gate 3 and near the Florence A. Blanchfield Army Community Hospital. It took some paneling off a few buildings and tore the siding off a multi-purpose warehouse. The tornado left Ft. Campbell via Gate 3, taking with it some tents that had been hanging out to dry. Most of this account of the tornado came from the Leaf-Chronicle newspaper in Clarksville.This tornado did not form from a supercell thunderstorm. The dynamics of this tornado were similar to a landspout.The path length and path width are approximations.

Vanderburgh County · 59,451 Homes in County

Tornado Report Description: The tornado occurred in a densely populated suburban area called North Park, about 2 miles northwest of downtown Evansville. There were many witnesses, so the event was well documented by photographers and eyewitnesses. Although the tornado was unusual in the respect that it developed from a non-severe thunderstorm in a weakly sheared environment, it caused considerable damage in such a populated setting. A survey conducted by National Weather Service personnel determined the damage path was narrow, well defined, and highly convergent. Most of the damage was a result of trees falling on houses (at least a dozen) and causing roof damage and some structural damage. The neighborhood was 40 years old so most trees were full grown. A liquor store, bowling alley, and grocery store suffered primarily roof damage due to winds estimated near 100 MPH. About 2,800 people were without power for several hours. The tornado was well photographed by personnel at the Evansville Airport.

Tornado Report Description: The primary damage was to a tobacco barn, which was destroyed. At least three other barns received some roof damage. The damage path was narrow and well-defined. A nearby wheat field showed the appearance of several smaller vortices with a convergent path of damage associated with each one. An eyewitness gave a very detailed description of the tornado, very similar to the one in the Oak Grove area. He said there was more than one vortex and that each one formed and dissipated rather quickly. He estimated that the individual vortices were as little as 6 feet across. This tornado event and the Oak Grove event were both associated with non-severe thunderstorms.

Tornado Damage Risk for Your Home +

After a tornado, the National Weather Service assigns an EF rating from EF0 to EF5 based on surveyed damage. The rating estimates wind speed from what the tornado damaged, so actual damage can vary by construction quality, roof age, garage doors, windows, trees, debris, and how close the home was to the tornado path.

EF0

65–85 mph

Light

Can peel shingles, damage gutters or siding, break tree limbs, and toss loose outdoor items.

EF1

86–110 mph

Moderate

Can strip roof covering, damage exterior doors, break windows, snap trees, and cause heavier siding or gutter damage.

EF2

111–135 mph

Serious

Can tear off large sections of roofing, break or uproot trees, destroy weaker structures, and cause major exterior damage.

EF3–EF5

136+ mph

Severe

Can remove roofs and walls, destroy large portions of homes, toss vehicles, and cause severe to total destruction near the path.

Source: NOAA / National Weather Service. EF ratings are assigned after a post-storm damage survey and are based on observed damage, not a direct measurement at every home.

Frequently asked questions

for homeowners, buyers & sellers

How many storm reports were recorded on June 17, 1997?

Our records show 29 hail, 102 wind, and 10 tornado reports on June 17, 1997, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on June 17, 1997.

What was the largest hail reported on June 17, 1997?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records on June 17, 1997 is 3.00″, reported near Cusick, WA.

Some reports show UNK instead of a wind speed or tornado rating — what does that mean?

Wind reports come three ways: measured from an instrument, estimated from the damage observed, or UNK when no speed was recorded. Tornadoes show UNK until the National Weather Service finishes a damage survey and assigns an EF rating. UNK simply means that value was not available when the report was filed.

A report appeared near my home on June 17, 1997 — is my roof damaged?

Not necessarily. A storm report shows that hail, wind, or a tornado was observed nearby, not that any specific home was hit. To find out whether your property was affected, check an address-level hail report, and if it looks significant, ask a local pro about a Remote Hail Inspection before scheduling roof work.

I am buying or selling a home — how do these on June 17, 1997 reports help?

If a storm passed through, a roof or exterior may have damage that is hard to see, or a recent repair may trace back to it. Buyers can ask better questions before closing, and sellers can document the home condition up front — both starting from the property address rather than a whole region.

How do I check what happened at a specific address on June 17, 1997?

Use the address search to pull a free address-level hail report for any property — no phone number or email required. It shows recent hail activity for that address so you know whether a closer roof or exterior review makes sense.

Where does this storm report data come from, and what are its limits?

Storm reports on this page are public reports from storm events on June 17, 1997 across the United States, sourced from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. They show where hail, wind, or tornado activity was reported, but they do not confirm damage at any specific property. Report locations, sizes, and times may be approximate and can vary from what an individual home experienced. For property-specific hail history, use an address-level hail report or contact a participating local professional for a remote hail inspection. Pros inclusion is not an endorsement, and contacting a professional does not confirm damage at any property.
