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.

Tornado report for Highland County, 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: The tornado touched down in an open field west of State Route 134, south of Dodsonville. Next to the highway, minor structural damage occurred to a farm building. Heavy tree damage occurred on both sides of Route 134, some of which impacted a home. The tornado continued across the property of Lynchburg-Clay schools. An open-ended storage shed sustained roof removal and partial wall collapse. The high school had a garage door blown out with the interior ceiling collapsing in a narrow hallway. Numerous large branches were snapped on the property, some of which impacted automobiles. Bleachers, a backstop, and other athletic equipment were tossed downstream. A portable toilet was blown over in a northwesterly direction. Debris from damage near Route 134 was also strewn across the athletic fields immediately south of the high school.||Across Dawson Road, a single family home sustained damage to shingles and roofing. A mobile home had a window air conditioner unit blown in from the north and a trampoline was tossed into a tree toward the north. An open-ended, un-anchored garage blew over and collapsed. Numerous large limbs were downed in this vicinity, with one limb breaking the windshield of a car. A narrow path with heavy tree damage clearly indicated where the strongest winds associated with the tornado entered the adjacent woods. Along Dodson Lane, more heavy limb damage occurred. One large limb impacted a garage and truck to the west of Dodson Lane, and another tree limb was blown into a home on the east side of the road. Tree damage was also observed along the tree line behind the homes on the east side of Dodson Lane. On Abernathy Road, an un-anchored large shed was destroyed with debris tossed about 1000 feet downstream. Other outbuildings sustained minor damage, more limbs were downed, and vinyl fencing was blown over. Limb damage was also observed at the edges of field east of the road. Additional tree limb damage occurred on Gibler Road. The last noted damage before the tornado lifted was along the tree line to the east of Gibler Road. Based on the damage surveyed, the maximum estimated wind speed of this tornado was 85 miles per hour.

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.
