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.

Stone County · 5,387 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A brief EF0 tornado began to the southwest of Oak Drive in adjacent forest where a radar tornado debris signature became apparent. As the tornado continued northeast... it affected several homes with damage mostly cosmetic with vinyl siding removed... minor shingle damage and one home with an east facing window being broken. Other damage to the adjacent forest included mostly large tree limbs and treetops being broken off. As the tornado continued northeast it cross and then paralleled Wire Road W where several skinny pine trees were either snapped or uprooted in a weak convergent pattern. The tornado likely lifted just prior to reaching Cecil Daniels Road based on available Sentinel satellite imagery. The tornado start and end point may be adjusted later as higher resolution satellite imagery becomes available. Special thanks to Stone County EMA for providing ground photos and drone imagery for this tornado.

Wayne County · 6,146 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: The tornado began near the Jones/Wayne County line and moved to the northeast with sporadic tree damage along Strengthford Myrick Road and Maxcey Drive. The tornado began to intensify as it approached a farm on Sellers Cooley Drive. Several metal farm buildings were heavily damaged. A few cattle were picked up and tossed during the tornado. Several large trees were snapped or uprooted across the farm. The tornado continued to move to the northeast across inaccessible and heavily forested areas. The EF-1 tornado crossed Highway 84 and lifted the roof of a house on the north side of the road. The wind likely got under the roof overhanging the carport area and caused the uplift of a significant chunk of the roof over the rest of the house. Another house on Oscar Bell Road also had an uplift of the roof. The tornado continued off to the northeast and trekked over heavily forested areas. A convergent pattern in the tree damage was noted further to the northeast as the tornado moved acros

A radar indicated tornado debris signature began in the adjacent forest... tracking northeast across Grand Bay Wilmer Road. As it crossed the road... multiple pine trees were snapped midway up the trunk along with a couple smaller pine tree snaps near the base of the trunk. One tree had fallen across power lines and brought them down. The smaller snaps to the south were likely thanks to the supercells RFD with the primary damage being near the bridge here. The tornado weakened somewhat as it continued northeast across Balford and Ballard Roads. Here some metal roofing material was tossed to the west with multiple large tree limbs broken. The tornado then continued northeast across Ben Hamilton Road impacting a pond north of the road. This pond had multiple trees that were uprooted with a tree snapped low. The tornado went through a majority of forest and open fields between Ben Hamilton Road and Dawes Roa

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 December 27, 2024?

Our records show 0 hail, 9 wind, and 15 tornado reports on December 27, 2024, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on December 27, 2024.

What was the largest hail reported on December 27, 2024?

No reported hail size is available for this selection.

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 December 27, 2024 — 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 December 27, 2024 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 December 27, 2024?

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 December 27, 2024 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.
