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.

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 Cherokee Pass, MO
Madison County · 4,427 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A tornado touched down on Madison County Road 437 (about half a mile north of intersection with Co. Road 424) at 255 am. At this location part of the roof of an abandoned house was blown off and several windows were blown out. Also, there was lots of tree damage in the area. The damage was rated EF1 in this location. The tornado continued to the east northeast. On Madison County Road 431, about a mile north of the intersection with Highway C, a home was completely blown apart and swept off the foundation. The debris was thrown in different directions. It was not bolted down into the concrete foundation, only nailed, so the EF rating given for this was EF2. All the hardwood trees next to the home were uprooted. The width of the damage path in this location was 200 yards. Further to the east additional tree damage was found on Madison County Road 411 near the intersection with Highway EE. As it travelled to the east northeast, the tornado approached U.S. Highway 67 near Zion. On the west side of U.S. Highway 67, about a third of a mile north of the intersection with Highway JJ, an abandoned single wide mobile home was rolled onto its roof. A bit further north of the mobile home, there was about a 100 yard wide swath of hardwoods that were uprooted on the west side of U.S. Highway 67. All of the damage in this area was rated EF1. Further to the east, about 1.6 miles west northwest of Marquand on Highway A, there was significant roof damage to a large well-constructed barn. There was some evidence of convergent flow in the tree damage nearby. A utility pole was bent over back to the south. Just to the east of the tree damage, about half the roof was lifted off of a business and numerous large oaks were uprooted in the area. Damage width was about 200 yards in this location with a rating of EF1. On Highway F, about two tenths of a mile north of the intersection with Highway A, a large swath of trees was uprooted, with additional sporadic tree damage along the rest of the path before crossing into Bollinger County (WFO Paducah���s forecast area) about a mile and a half northeast of Marquand on the south side of Highway A at 320 am. The path length in Madison County was 21.54 miles with a max width of 200 yards and a max rating of EF2.

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.

How many hail, wind, and tornado reports does Cherokee Pass have on record?

Our records show 6 hail, 15 wind, and 12 tornado reports in and near Cherokee Pass, MO, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on April 16, 2026.

What is the largest hail ever reported in Cherokee Pass?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in and near Cherokee Pass, MO is 1.75″. It was reported near Saco, MO on May 22, 2024.

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

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

I am selling a home in Cherokee Pass — 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 Cherokee Pass address?

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