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.

Talladega County · 24,472 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A small tornado touched down in a wooded area just southwest of exit 165 on Interestate 20. The tornado moved northeast moving across three structures on the south side of the Interstate, two of the structures suffered extensive damage. The tornado moved across CR 207 where several trees were downed and a small portion of the roof of an unoccupied building was damaged. It crossed two mobile home parks, downing trees, ripping pieces of siding from several mobile homes, and pushing one off it's foundation. It crossed US 78 where another mobile home had some siding ripped away from it. It moved through an open area that was inaccessible and then damaged several trees on the north side of the town of Lincoln. No additional damage was found beyond that point. The weak tornado came out of a bowing echo that also caused some damage mainly to trees in Calhoun County. Beginning: 33 35.333N 86 10.056W Ending: 33 37.564N 86 07.641W

Racine County · 59,338 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: Thia weak tornado spun up in north-central Kenosha County, about 3.5 miles northeast of Paris. It exited Kenosha County about 3.7 miles northeast of Paris, or .8 miles east of the intersection of KR and D, and entered Racine County about 2.8 miles east-southeast of Union Grove. It proceeded northeast toward the intersection of Interstate 94 and Highway 11, and eventually dissipated 1.8 miles northwest of Sturtevant. Luckily, the tornado circulation wasn't at ground level the entire time, and traveled part of the time over some swamp land, otherwise there would have been more damage. In Racine County, the tornado intensified to the top of the F1 rating (winds about 87 to 96 knots, or 100 to 110 mph), and demolished a hay shed, damaged a pole barn (horse trailer inside was pushed through a closed door), flattened some fence, uprooted or snapped many trees, damaged a road sign, damaged a Sheriff Department speed trailer at the I-94/Hwy 11 intersection, and flattened some corn crop. A couple of power line poles were also damaged. Eyewitness reports indicated that the tornado briefly consisted of multiple vortices, and sounded like a jet engine. Average path length was about 25 yards. Synoptically, a 500 mb circulation center moved northeast through southeast Wisconsin at the time of the tornado. Scattered thunderstorms associated with the low moved northeast at about 30 mph. Maximum air temperatures during the afternoon were in the lower 80s with surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s.

Tornado Report Description: A weak tornado spun up in north-central Kenosha County, about 3.5 miles northeast of Paris. It pushed over an old shed, a TV antenna, and uprooted several trees on a property located on the south side of County Hwy KR. Based on damage, wind speeds were probably in the 70 to 78 knot range (80 to 90 mh). This tornado exited Kenosha County about 3.7 miles northeast of Paris, or .8 miles east of the intersection of KR and D, and entered Racine County about 2.8 miles east-southeast of Union Grove. It proceeded northeast toward the intersection of Interstate 94 and Highway 11, and eventually dissipated 1.8 miles northwest of Sturtevant.

Tornado Report Description: A tornado touched down in Merrillville just east of the intersection of Merrillville Road and 84th Street. There was spotty minor structural damage in an industrial park with some small trees broken or pushed over, damage to signs and a few broken windows. Many structures and trees in the path had no damage. Just west of I-65, parts of the roof and glass walls of a commercial building were damaged. East of I-65, just south of Route 30, there was more damage to signs. A semi was overturned. Two people were injured by broken glass at a restaurant in Hobart. Part of the roof and a section of a wall was blown out at a Kohl's department store. The tornado crossed Route 30 and caused minor structural damage, mostly to signs and glass, at a strip mall. Behind the shops, corn was flattened and trees were damaged. The tornado then moved into the Green Acres subdivision near Colorado Street and 78th Street. A garage collapsed and many large tree limbs were blown down through the neighborhood. The tornado then weakened. Only minor damage to a few tree limbs occurred around the 7600 block of Clay Street and just south and east of the intersection of Grand and 73rd. The average path width was 50 yards.

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 in August 2001?

Our records show 1,014 hail, 1,479 wind, and 71 tornado reports in August 2001, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on August 31, 2001.

What was the largest hail reported in August 2001?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in August 2001 is 4.00″, reported near Countywide, IN.

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 in August 2001 — 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 in August 2001 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 in August 2001?

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 in August 2001 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.
