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.

Schuylkill County · 38,959 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A NWS survey team confirmed a long-track EF1 tornado via PSP helicopter in Schuylkill County. The EF1 tornado occurred during the late evening on 26 May 2011 between 2020-2045 EDT. The tornado touched down about one-half mile west of Cressona in North Manheim Township along Beaver Creek Road. The tornado produced a sporadic path of damage spanning approximately 17 miles, lifting and touching down several times before finally dissipating about 1 mile northeast of Kepner in West Penn Township. Approximately 20 residential homes were damaged, 4 of which suffered major damage. In addition, 12 barns and outbuildings were damaged. The tornado downed more than 1000 trees, with the bulk of the damage occurring to the east of Schuylkill Haven north of Route 443 through North Manheim, West Brunswick and East Brunswick Townships. Significant tree damage was also observed in Connor and Hecla. The damage indicators surveyed were consistent with winds of 110 mph and a tornado rating of a strong EF1. There were no injuries or fatalities.

Tornado report for Schuylkill County, PA
Schuylkill County · 38,959 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A NWS storm survey team found evidence that a small EF1 tornado touched down just south of Brockton in Walker Township at 1837 EDT. The tornado traveled only about a quarter of a mile to the east-northeast, before dissipating near Kettle Road around 1838 EDT. The tornado was embedded in a larger area of downburst winds, which extended approximately two miles farther to the east, crossing Catawissa Road.||Damage caused by the tornado was mainly confined to a wooded area, snapping or toppling about 25 trees. The tornado appeared to dissipate on the property along Kettle Road. Here, a large awning/roof was removed from a home. A barn was completely leveled. Across Kettle Road, another home lost portions of it's roof from the wind. Moderate damage to the house was also sustained from flying debris from the collapsed barn across the road. The downburst winds next encountered a home and several barns along Catawissa Road over a mile to the east. Significant roofing loss was noted at two barns on the west side of Catawissa Road, and one on the east side of Catawissa Road. This marked the end of the concentrated downburst damage path.||The tornado and downburst winds both had damage indicators implying peak winds around 95 mph. The tornado was rated an EF1. There were no injuries or fatalities.

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.

A storm report showed up near my home in Schuylkill County — 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.

I am buying a home in Schuylkill County — 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.

Storm reports on this page are public reports from storm events across Schuylkill County, PA, sourced from NOAA SPC and NWS Local Storm Reports.
