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 Bayou Corne, LA
Assumption Parish · 6,197 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A mesocyclone embedded in the squall line produced another tornado initially touching down in an area of softwood pine trees west of Bayouside Street. Trees had large branches snapped, and EF-0 damage was noted. The path width was only 25 yards at this point. The tornado then moved to the southeast and crossed Louisiana Highway 402 causing additional EF-0 damage. Several trees had large branches snapped off, and a few trees were uprooted. No visible damage to any structures was noted. The path width in this area was approximately 75 yards wide. The tornado crossed Louisiana Highway 1 and Bayou Lafourche just south of Hospital Road, causing additional tree damage. The tornado then crossed Louisiana Highway 308 south of Dodge Road, where additional tree damage in the form of large branches removed from hardwood trees was noted. All of this damage was rated EF-0, and the path width narrowed to 25 yards. No damage was noted beyond this point.

Tornado report for Bayou Corne, LA
Assumption Parish · 6,197 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A mesocyclone embedded in the squall line produced a tornado that initially touched d down along a gravel driveway near Derrick Street north of Pierre Part, snapping off large branches along the driveway, producing EF-0 damage. Path width was 50 yards wide at this point. The tornado moved east-southeast and crossed Derrick Street, damaging several homes and snapping hardwood trees. A carport was destroyed on one residence and a porch collapsed on another home. A third home had most of the tin roofing torn off the back of the house. The tornado was rated at EF-1 with a path width of 150 yards. The tornado continued east-southeast, crossing Louisiana Highway 70, paralleling Lee Drive, causing sporadic tree damage along the path and causing minor damage to homes, rating EF-0. The tornado re-intensified to EF-1 near the intersection of Lee Drive and East Drive. A chimney collapsed on one home and another home had a large portion of the tin roof removed with beams exposed. Several large trees were snapped at the base. The width remained 150 yards as it crossed Avoca Island Cutoff Canal, but the tornado weakened back to EF-0 strength as it crossed Grand Coupe Lane. A metal warehouse building had its doors blown inward at this location. The tornado moved into the woods near the end of Noe street where large branches were snapped off. The tornado was still 150 yards wide at this point. No access was available beyond this point, and it is unknown if the tornado remained on the ground beyond the end of Noe Street.

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.
