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 Report Description: A fast moving sqaull line of severe thunderstorms caused numerous reports of damaging winds in the western two-thirds of Massachusetts and more scattered reports of damage farther east. The storms were part of a major mesoscale convective complex (derecho) which had tracked across the Great Lakes region and New York state during the early morning hours. The line of storms entered Berkshire County at about 0700 local time and raced to the southeast portion of the state, including Cape Cod and the islands by around 0930. There was widespread damage to trees and power lines in Berkshire, Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden Counties. in Burkshire, a woman was injured in Pittsfield when a tree fell on her car. A wind gust of 92 mph was reported from the town of Otis, where a woman was killed by electrocution while standing in wet grass after an electric power line fell and caught fire. A tree fell on a house in North Adams and a wall of a mall was blown out in Lenoxdale. In Franklin, Hampshire, and Hampden Counties, some of the most severe damage occurred in the hill towns or in the higher elevations. Widespread power outages and roads blocked by fallen trees prompted authorities to declare states of emergency in five towns, including Greenfield, Huntington, Ashfield, Conway, and Middlefield. About 30,000 electric customers lost power and a power company in western Massachusetts reported outages in 57 out of 59 of the towns that they serve. Thousands of people remained without power more than 48 hours after the storms moved through, especially in the rural towns which took the brunt of the high winds. In Holyoke, 50 people were left homeless after winds gusting to 70 mph blew the roof off of their apartment building. Three people were injured in Deerfield after their hot air balloon was caught by the winds and went spinning out of control for five miles before crashing into a tree. In Charlemont, a six-year-old boy was injured by lightning while talking on the telephone during the storm. Falling trees and tree limbs damaged houses, barns, and automobiles throughout the area. Scattered wind damage and power outages occurred in the central and eastern portions of the state. Several thousand power outages were reported from central Massachusetts. A peak gust of 59 mph was recorded at the Worcester Municipal Airport at 0804 local time while a peak gust to 85 mph was reported from Upton, just to the southeast of Worcester. In northern Worcester County, a peak gust to 72 mph was recorded at the Fitchburg Airport. Generally, though, most wind gusts were reported to be in the range of 50 to 65 mph. The Blue Hill Observatory, at an elevation of 635 feet in Milton recorded a peak gust to 63 mph. The intensity of the storms was diminishing upon reaching coastal sections of the state, but even Menemsha on Martha's Vineyard recorded a gust to 58 mph and many tree limbs were reported blown down throughout the greater New Bedford area.

Wind Damage Risk for Your Home +

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 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.
