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.

Defiance County · 13,455 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A National Weather Service (NWS) storm survey determined that a tornado initially touched down just east of Mark Center on Williams Center-Cecil Road, where eight utility poles were blown down towards the east with one pole being snapped. Immediately to the northeast of these poles on the south side of Highway 18, a small barn was blown off its foundation, but was left intact with a farm house across the road suffering some minor roof damage. The tornado briefly lifted, but touched down once again on Openlander Road between Lockwood and State Route 18. The front porch on a home was ripped off as well as a television antenna and large tree damaged. A large barn suffered some minor roof damage. As the tornado skipped a few more times, additional trees suffered varying damage, with a few homes suffering shingle or siding damage. The total length along the broken path was roughly 5 miles with a maximum width of only around 50 yards.

Ripley County · 9,896 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: The tornado briefly touched down in two locations just west and north of the intersection of Indiana State Routes 101 and 48. The first area of damage occurred on a property located along State Route 48 about a quarter mile west of the intersection of State Routes 48 and 101. A large two-story barn sustained roof damage and had both metal garage doors blown out. Much of the north-facing wall of the garage and several small objects in the barn were blown out and thrown into an adjacent cornfield to the northeast. A second smaller barn behind the home had the back part of its metal roof peeled or removed. Two cedar trees in the vicinity of the large barn were uprooted. The homeowner and his son both witnessed the tornado lift up in the cornfield and then come back down in the vicinity of State Route 101 just north of its intersection with State Route 48. It was in this location that the second area of damage was located.| |The most significant damage was in this location along State Route 101, to a stand-alone garage and the back portion of a house. The front part of the garage had its roof completely removed and deposited in a few parts in the field to the east of the property. Several pieces of the roof trusses and fiberglass were scattered behind the garage as well. Insulation was stuck to the entire south side of the garage, and the west-facing garage door was blown out. The back part of the garage remained largely intact with little roof damage. The homeowners indicated that this part of the garage was built at a later time than the front part of the garage. Additional damage occurred to a back room to the house. This was an addition to the house, built at the same time as the front portion of the garage which sustained the brunt of the damage. The entire room was shifted off the foundation by as much as six inches and the door was blown out. Several maple trees along the back edge of the property were knocked down. Based on the type of damage to the structures and their building quality, estimated maximum winds were 85 to 90 mph.

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 March 8, 2009?

Our records show 36 hail, 104 wind, and 30 tornado reports on March 8, 2009, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on March 8, 2009.

What was the largest hail reported on March 8, 2009?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records on March 8, 2009 is 1.50″, reported near N Red Bud, IL.

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 March 8, 2009 — 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 March 8, 2009 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 March 8, 2009?

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 March 8, 2009 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.
