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.

Cherokee County · 82,964 Homes in County

Wind Report Description: The Cherokee County Emergency Management Director and associated personnel conducted a damage survey and found a broken path of extensive damage to trees, power lines, structures, and vehicles across central Cherokee county from 6 miles west of Canton to 2.5 miles east of Canton, mostly along and near Georgia Highway 20. Most of the damage was consistent with strong straight-lined winds, with the possible exception of one small area in downtown Canton along Chamblee Street where possible F0 tornado damage was observed. The damage path began near the intersection of Fields Chapel Road and Sweet Water Creek Trail west of Canton where mostly tree damage was observed The damage path continued through the Field Stone Subdivision, where extensive damage to homes and trees was observed. Many homes in this area suffered major damage when large oak trees fell on the structures. Siding was blown off some of the homes and several vehicles in the area were destroyed when large trees fell on them. The damage path then continued eastward along Oak Dale Road in Canton, where several more homes, vehicles, and out buildings were damaged and a number of trees were blown down. In addition, the softball facility at the Cherokee County High School Complex suffered major damage when the roof of the dugout was blown off and 200 feet of a chain link fence was flattened. The damage then continued to Main Street and Brown Street in Canton, where a large downed tree crushed and destroyed 11 vehicles. Shortly beyond this point is where the possible F0 tornado occurred. The damage then continued east of Canton terminating in the Brooke Park Development, where again dozens of large trees were blown down onto homes and vehicles. All together, 115 homes sustained damage, 10 of which incurred major damage, 13 vehicles were destroyed, three others sustained some damage, and 8 outbuildings were damaged, of which four were destroyed.

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.

Tornado report for ZIP 30528

White County · 10,057 Homes in County

Tornado Report Description: An aerial survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City confirmed that the EF2 tornado that originally touched down in northeast Lumpkin county, just west of Turners Corner, continued acros northern White county and then crossed into extreme northern Habersham county and then into Rabun county before finally lifting. Within the Peachtree City, Georgia county warning area of Lumpkin and White county, this tornado tracked approximately 17.5 miles total, with about 12.1 miles of this within White county. It should be noted that this tornado was spawned by the same supercell thunderstorm that had earlier spawned several tornadoes across Alabama and already two in northwest and north central Georgia, including Polk, Floyd, Bartow, and Pickens counties. The tornado tracked in White county from near Whitley Gap Shelter to just north of Anna Ruby Falls. Much of the tornado track was within the Chattahoochee National Forest, where thousands of trees were destroyed by the tornado. Two homes suffered major damage and an additional six others sustained minor damages from the tornado. No injuries and no fatalities were reported from the tornado within White county.||[04/27-04/28/11: Tornado #7, County #2-2, EF2, Lumpkin-White, 2011:016].

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.

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in and near ZIP 30528 is 1.75″. It was reported near Cleveland, GA on March 21, 2017.

A storm report showed up near my home in ZIP 30528 — does that mean my roof is damaged?

Not necessarily. A storm report only means hail, wind, or a tornado was observed nearby; it does not confirm damage at any specific address, and conditions change from block to block. Check an address-level hail report first, and if it looks significant, find a local pro that serves ZIP 30528 and ask about a Remote Hail Inspection before anyone climbs on the roof.

I am buying a home in ZIP 30528 — why should I look at its storm history?

Recent hail or wind can leave a roof or exterior with damage that is easy to miss during a walkthrough, and a recent roof replacement is sometimes an insurance job after a storm. Reviewing the storm history for a ZIP 30528 address before closing helps you ask informed questions about roof age, past repairs, and any prior claims.

I am selling a home in ZIP 30528 — how does this help me?

Knowing the storm history for your address lets you answer buyer questions with confidence, document repairs you have already made, and decide whether a pre-listing roof check is worthwhile. A clear hail history removes a common sticking point during negotiations.

How do I check hail history for a specific ZIP 30528 address?

Use the address search to pull a free address-level hail report for any property in ZIP 30528 — 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 and around ZIP 30528, sourced from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. They show where hail, wind, or tornado activity was reported in ZIP 30528, 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.
