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.

Lancaster County · 120,566 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: The National Weather Service in State College confirmed an EF-1 tornado, with peak winds around 95 mph, near Rohrerstown in East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County. The tornado touched down around 12:40 am on September 30, 2015. ||The tornado tracked from southeast to northwest along a 2.5-mile path, with two segments of concentrated damage. The first segment covered an approximate one-half mile stretch from the Limespring Farm across US Route 30 and up a nearby hill-side before lifting. The circulation traveled aloft for about 1 mile with a second touchdown just southeast of Centerville Road on Stonebridge Drive. The tornado then crossed Nolt Road and then dissipated just before reaching Bowman Road.||The initial touchdown occurred on the 2300 block of Noll Road between the Limespring Farm and Rohrerstown Elementary School. The Survey team observed an extensive area of healthy snapped and uprooted trees /1 to 2 feet in diameter/ exhibiting a clear convergent signature. Additional damage at the Limespring Farm property included a destroyed outbuilding shed.||Damage indicators confirmed the tornado reached peak intensity as it impacted an industrial warehouse located on Running Pump Road just south of US Route 30. Winds in excess of 90 mph blew in one of the metal garage doors at a loading bay and lifted off a large section of the warehouse roof, which eventually lead to the|partial collapse of interior walls. The local fire chief estimated over 35 percent loss of the roof, with debris blown and deposited on to US Route 30. A wood pallet skid was projected into the side of the warehouse making a clear dent in the building. Two horizontal beams were twisted and detached on the front side of the warehouse where the winds exited the building. Large sections of metal siding were removed from the warehouse. Insulation from the warehouse was recovered at the Four Seasons golf course. Damage along the second tornado path segment consisted mainly of snapped and uprooted trees. There were no injuries.

Tornado Report Description: The National Weather Service in Baltimore MD/Washington DC has confirmed a tornado near Laurel and Scaggsville in Prince Georges and Howard counties in Maryland on September 29 2015.||The National Weather Service in Baltimore MD/Washington DC has confirmed a tornado rated EF0 produced scattered damage along a path extending from Laurel, MD in northern Prince Georges County to just east of Scaggsville in southern Howard County.||Based on information obtained from a ground survey conducted by a member of the National Weather Service of storm damage in southern Howard County and a detailed damage report from the Director of Public Works for the City of Laurel, it was determined that an EF0 tornado produced intermittent damage along a 4 mile path extending from just southeast of Laurel, MD to a point about 1 mile east of Scaggsville, MD.||After crossing the Little Patuxent River into Howard County, the tornado produced little damage and may have lifted briefly as it moved parallel to Route 216. Then after crossing Interstate 95, the tornado produced tree damage along a narrow path that started near the entrance of the High Ridge Substation and then downed several trees as it crossed into a subdivision west of Leishear Road just east of Hammond Middle School. The tornado lifted near Graeloch Rd and Helmart Rd after producing minor tree damage.||Based upon this ground survey along with analysis of available NWS and FAA radar data and interviews with persons along the path, the NWS in Sterling confirms an EF0 tornado occurred.

Charleston County · 119,948 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A National Weather Service storm survey team confirmed a tornado on Johns Island. The tornado touched down near Cane Slash Road where one home had a portion of its roof ripped off. The tornado then tracked to the north-northwest and crossed Maybank Highway and Brownswood Road, causing minor damage to a few homes and extensive damage to trees. The tornado then tracked further north-northwest and caused the most significant damage along its path on Sonny Boy Lane, where damage to two homes was consistent with a high end EF-2 tornado. At one home, only a small portion of the roof was left intact as the rest of the roof and most of the exterior walls of the well built brick home were knocked down. A large portion of this roof and a ground level air condition unit were hurled about 150 yards. At another well built home across the street, the entire back portion of the two story house was ripped off. From there, the tornado continued its north-northwest track crossing River Road, the Stono River, Main Road, and eventually Highway 17 where it dissipated. Along this portion of the path the tornado produced widespread destruction to numerous acres of trees and damage to the roofs of two businesses near Highway 17. According to a damage assessment performed by the Charleston County Building Services Department, 51 total structures were damaged including 33 with moderate or worse damage and 18 with only minor damage. The total damage estimate resulting solely from structures was $1,539,000. Thousands and thousands of trees were uprooted or snapped off with many falling onto structures, vehicles, and roadways. The tree damage was so extensive and widespread that several roads along the path were impassable for a few days following the event.

Tornado Report Description: An EF-0 tornado initially touched down in Imagination Farms community north of Griffin Road and west of Flamingo Road in Davie. The tornado traveled W-SW over Imaginary Farms and uprooted several medium to large trees as well as breaking off large branches. One home had about a dozen roof tiles removed/shifted in a few places in Imaginary Farms, with most of the damage oriented in a NE-SW direction. Damage became less noticeable at Griffin Road, with only minor damage to branches.||The tornado appeared to have lifted briefly just south of Griffin Road as it entered Southwest Rances, with very little damage. Therefore, this tornado likely had a discontinuous path.||Damage increased again west of SW 148th Avenue in the Ivanhoe Estates neighborhood of Davie between Griffin and Sterling Roads as it continued to move SW. A second area of peak intensity and evidence of rotation along Castlegate Avenue north of Waterford Drive. A large black olive tree about 3 feet in diameter at the base uprooted in a southwest direction with nearby large tree branches and debris oriented in an eastward direction. One home had about a dozen tiles removed or shifted. The tornado apparently lifted just east of I-75 in Ivanhoe Estates.||In total, at least two dozen trees were uprooted or had medium to large sized branches snapped. At least two homes sustained minor roof damage. Most damage rated on low end of EF0 scale near 65 mph, with only two or three spots of peak intensity of 70 to 80 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 in September 2015?

Our records show 480 hail, 479 wind, and 18 tornado reports in September 2015, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on September 30, 2015.

What was the largest hail reported in September 2015?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in September 2015 is 4.00″, reported near .53 E Randolph, KS.

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 September 2015 — 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 September 2015 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 September 2015?

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 September 2015 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.
