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.

Tornado report for ZIP 31027
Laurens County · 13,920 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that an EF1 tornado touched down in northeast Laurens county, approximately 1.8 miles west of Brewton, then traveled 3.5 miles to the east, lifting approximately 1.7 miles east of Brewton. The tornado had a maximum path width of 500 yards with maximum winds estimated to be 90 mph. Thirty structures were damaged along the path of the tornado, mostly residential homes. The damage was mostly the result of large trees blown down onto the structures. A few homes sustained minor roof and siding damage independent of the downed trees. A front porch was also blown off one of the homes. Several hundred trees were blown down, snapped, or uprooted along the path of the tornado.||[03/26-03/27/11: Tornado #2, County #1-1, EF1, Laurens, 2011:002].

Johnson County · 2,173 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that the EF1 tornado, that initially touched down in extreme northern Laurens just west-southwest of Tuckers Crossroads, continued on an eastward track into Johnson county, lifting a little less than one mile northeast of Wrightsville. Dozen of mobile and site-built homes in Wrightsville sustained minor to moderate damage as a result of this tornado, some of which were destroyed. Five injuries were reported from mobile homes destroyed with this tornado. An additional indirect injury resulted when a tree fell on an individual during debris clean up. In addition, numerous trees and power lines were downed along the path of the tornado through western Johnson county. The overall tornado path length was 10 miles, of which nearly nine occurred within Johnson county. The maximum path width was estimated to be up to 1/3 mile wide.||Within Johnson county, 227 homes were damaged, 22 of which were destroyed and 67 of which sustained major damage. Six public buildings also sustained minor to moderate damage. In addition, a total of five injuries were reported as a result of this tornado, four of which occurred as a result of damaged or destroyed mobile homes. The Georgia Forestry Commission reported extensive loss to timber within Johnson county when the tornado destroyed several hundred pine trees.

Laurens County · 13,920 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that yet another tornado touched down and skirted across the far northern part of Laurens county. This tornado was caused by a separate circulation, although within the same thunderstorm complex, that spawned the EF2 tornado slightly further southwest in north central Laurens county that resulted in two deaths and two injuries. This tornado touched down as an EF1 tornado in extreme northern Laurens county, approximately one mile west of Tuckers Crossroads. Near Tuckers Crossroads, one mobile home was destroyed and a manufactured home was pushed off its foundation. A truck was also moved 30 feet from its original location. The tornado continued on its eastward track into Johnson county, inflicting more damage before finally lifting just northeast of Wrightsville. Many trees were blown down along the path of the tornado. The entire path length of this tornado was 10 miles, but only 1 2/3 mile was within Laurens county. The maximum path width was estimated to be 1/3 mile.

Laurens County · 13,920 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: An areal and ground damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service in Peachtree City, Georgia confirmed that yet another tornado struck the eastern and northeast portion of Laurens county. This was the third tornado to touch down in Laurens county within an hour. It is believed that this tornado originated from the same thunderstorm that produced the tornado across central Laurens county a little earlier, which caused three injuries just south of Dublin. This tornado was rated an EF1. The track began approximately five miles southeast of Dublin and tracked northeast to east-northeast across the northeast portion of the county and crossed into Johnson county about eight miles east of Brewton. The tornado then continued well into Johnson county, lifting about five miles southwest of Kite. Fourteen miles of the approximately 19 mile long intermittent tornado path was within Laurens county. The maximum path width was 100 yards. The maximum wind speed in the tornado was estimated to be 100 mph. Several outbuildings along the path of the tornado were either damaged or destroyed, but the most significant structural damage with this tornado occurred in Johnson county. Several trees were blown down along the path of the tornado.

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 hail, wind, and tornado reports does ZIP 31027 have on record?

Our records show 15 hail, 51 wind, and 4 tornado reports in and near ZIP 31027, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on August 8, 2023.

What is the largest hail ever reported in ZIP 31027?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in and near ZIP 31027 is 1.75″. It was reported near Dublin, GA on August 7, 1998.

A storm report showed up near my home in ZIP 31027 — 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 31027 and ask about a Remote Hail Inspection before anyone climbs on the roof.

I am buying a home in ZIP 31027 — 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 31027 address before closing helps you ask informed questions about roof age, past repairs, and any prior claims.

I am selling a home in ZIP 31027 — 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 31027 address?

Use the address search to pull a free address-level hail report for any property in ZIP 31027 — 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 31027, sourced from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. They show where hail, wind, or tornado activity was reported in ZIP 31027, 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.
