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 Hillsboro, OH
Highland County · 13,980 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: The tornado touched down on a residential drive about a quarter mile north of SR 138, where it brought down a couple of large trees. It then continued southeast across a field and crossed SR 138 where it downed a large tree and other branches, snapped 3 pine trees several feet above the ground, peeled back part of a barn roof on both its east and west sides, and damaged some fencing. Isolated trees were snapped further southeast along the tornado's discontinuous path.||At a residence along Holladay Road, a large well-constructed barn had its cap blown from its roof and a small section of the roof's southeast corner was peeled back, exposing the inside. Large pine trees were snapped with large segments carried 50 to 60 yards downstream. A few small branches were blown onto a van and a car tire had a piece of bark completely impaled through it. A 100 foot TV tower was knocked down and the house sustained minor roof and fascia damage. A large well-constructed metal storage barn across the street had its front door ripped off and carried southeast.||Numerous large trees and branches were downed along Ervin Road, just north of a quarry. Further east along Ervin Road, the roof of a house had numerous shingles ripped off and a small section of its southeast corner was peeled back. Fascia on the north side of the garage was completely ripped off and a 100 foot TV tower was toppled along the south side of the house and garage. A small shed southwest of the house was completely destroyed with the damage strewn into the front yard. Another small shed south of the house was twisted off its foundation and moved a short distance. A short distance southeast of this residence was a trailer home that had its west wall and a portion of its south wall blown in, but most of the walls remained intact. An old wooden pole barn just southeast of the trailer home was completely destroyed.||A church along US 62 sustained very minor roof and fascia damage. The church sign was blown through a school bus window and the bus itself was pushed sideways several feet. Two very large picnic tables (each weighing over 500 pounds) were pushed a short distance into a van, causing minor damage to the van. Another heavy table that was located in front of the van was picked up and smashed into a wooden pavilion support post, snapping the post. Just southeast of the church, a residence along Green Road had several large trees knocked down. A large, unanchored shed with a lawn tractor inside was carried off its foundation and blown 200 feet eastward. Just to the east, a boat on a trailer was nudged a few feet southeast from where it was parked. Several large trees were knocked down a short distance further to the east, and this was where the tornado ended.

Tornado Report Description: A brief tornado moved along a half mile path just north of Rocky Fork Lake. A restaurant along North Shore Road sustained minor siding damage. A real estate office along North Beach Road had portions of its aluminum roof peeled back or completely ripped off. The most extensive damage occurred to a residence about a tenth of a mile to the north-northeast of the real estate office. The home sustained major roof damage, and had an enclosed patio on its front porch completed removed and strewn behind the home. The majority of the patio was deposited into a deck and above ground pool behind the house, causing additional damage. A few trees between six and twelve inches in diameter were snapped between the real estate office and the residence.

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 Hillsboro have on record?

Our records show 24 hail, 99 wind, and 7 tornado reports in and near Hillsboro, OH, compiled from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports. The most recent was reported on August 11, 2026.

What is the largest hail ever reported in Hillsboro?

The largest hail size in these storm-report records in and near Hillsboro, OH is 1.75″. It was reported near New Market, OH on April 9, 2020.

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

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

I am selling a home in Hillsboro — 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 Hillsboro address?

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