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.

St. Croix County · 28,175 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A tornado that was on the ground for 8 miles first touched down near Oak Drive in Section 24 of Kinnickinnic Township about 7 miles southwest of Hammond. A couple trying to outrun the storm in their car said that the funnel suddenly surrounded their vehicle. The car began to shake and the back end started to lift off the ground while at the same time branches were flying by the car. At a property nearby the tornado sheared off a garage roof, twisted a swing set up "like a pretzel", broke windows, and downed trees. The tornado pushed northeast and crossed Interstate 94 where it was witnessed by several motorists. Next the twister damaged a farmstead near the intersection of County Highway J and 170th Street about 4 miles southwest of Hammond. A number of horses were picked up and injured by flying debris. One horse had to be put down because of a severe leg injury. Three sheds (42x80 feet, 27x14 feet, and 150 feet long) were downed. After striking the farmstead the tornado destroyed two barns, a few sheds, and snapped or uprooted many trees before reaching Hammond. The tornado was at its strongest when it moved into the northwest corner of Hammond where it damaged 24 homes, mainly in the Meadows subdivision. A row of 5 townhouses sustained significant roof and garage damage and one building had to be demolished. The tornado caused grills, lawn furniture, and building debris to be thrown into the exterior walls and windows of homes. Several neighborhood residents took shelter in ground floor bathrooms and closets (the homes did not have basements) and incredibly no one was injured. Twenty seven families had to be sheltered by the Red Cross until the damage to their homes could be repaired. Hammond Golf Course lost 47 mature fairway trees between the 9th and 6th tee box. Three golfers caught outside when the tornado crossed the course had to hang onto trees to survive the forceful winds that threw trees up to 25 feet from where they were ripped from the ground. Just north of town along 90th Avenue the tornado threw a picnic table through the front of a home. The home itself was slightly moved off its foundation and the back wall of the home was ripped off. Two sheds on the property were picked up and dropped back down. This tornado was widely photographed and videotaped.

The tornado downed more than 30 trees, blew off two access doors to an attic, and blew in the sliding door of a pole barn. After the tornado lifted, eyewitnesses said they saw the funnel cloud rise and fall from the storm as it moved to the northeast across Interstate 94. This storm was the same one that produced the F1 tornado in Hammond a short time later.

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 54022 have on record?

Our records show 39 hail, 59 wind, and 9 tornado reports in and near ZIP 54022, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on August 29, 2024.

What is the largest hail ever reported in ZIP 54022?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in and near ZIP 54022 is 4.50″. It was reported near Roberts, WI on June 19, 1988.

A storm report showed up near my home in ZIP 54022 — 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 54022 and ask about a Remote Hail Inspection before anyone climbs on the roof.

I am buying a home in ZIP 54022 — 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 54022 address before closing helps you ask informed questions about roof age, past repairs, and any prior claims.

I am selling a home in ZIP 54022 — 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 54022 address?

Use the address search to pull a free address-level hail report for any property in ZIP 54022 — 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 54022, sourced from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. They show where hail, wind, or tornado activity was reported in ZIP 54022, 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.
