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 powerful macroburst moved northeast through the eastern half of Racine county and tore up hundreds of trees, blew over several semi-tractor trailers on Interstate-94 between STH 11 and 20, leveled a barn, detroyed another pole shed, riped the roof off a home, and toppled about 30 power-poles and 59 spans of wire. Additionally, there was wind damage to the Ives Grove Golf Course, the County Board chambers, a Sheriff's Department storage building, and a Public Works Department garage. About a half-dozen campers were overturned by the powerful winds. Several homes sustained tree debris damage. At least six other cars were significantly damaged by flying debris or fallen trees. Monetary damage to the power-poles and power-lines was on the order of $90,000 alone. Newspaper reports mentioned that the damaged swath looked like a war-zone. The width of the damage swath was on the order of 3 to 5 miles. Based on the structural damage it is that estimated peak wind gusts were probably on the order of 87 knots (100 mph). Eyewitness accounts indicated that visibility was less than 10 yards due to the winds and rains.

Later on, it tore off a 100'x200' roof section of the Case/New Holland building, damaged several HVAC units on the roof, and tore off some of the building's garage doors. The Case/New Holland plant was closed until Monday, November 1st while the roof was being repaired. Two workers in this plant were injured by the tornadoes effects. Additionally, a tractor and it's semi-trailer on the Case/New Holland site were blown over and damaged. wo other businesses on STH 11 reported roof damage. At least 3 homes sustained damage. State Highway 11 was closed for a time in eastern Racine County due to debris and fallen power lines, closing or disrupting business at stores along Highway 11, especially in the 7000 and 7100 blocks. At a church 2 miles northeast of the intersection of STH 11 and Oakes Rd., damage was inflicted to its roof, siding windows and a brick sign. Numerous trees and a few power lines were blown down or broken along the path of the tornado. At one point, about 2700 customers lost electrical power. There were reports of a couple vehicle accidents as drivers tried to avoid the tornado. The tornado path averaged 50 yards in width, with a maximum width of 100 yards. The EF-rating was based on DI 23 DOD 4 EXP103 with estimated wind speeds up to 105 mph. The exact start location in Racine County is Lat 42.66901 Lon -87.89515. The exact end location is Lat 42.72845 Lon -87.82596. The path of the tornado was not a straight line, rather, a rough curved line with an actual path length of 5.92 miles within Racine County.

Racine County · 59,338 Homes in County
Tornado Report Description: A tornado spun up just northwest of the village of Sturtevant just northwest of the intersection of STH 11 and Wisconsin St., and moved east-southeast through the northern part of the village before dissipating in the Elmwood Park area near the intersection of Taylor Ave and Meachem Rd. It damaged two doors of the Sturtevant Fire Department, damaged the roofs and windows of two homes, uprooted a tree that crashed through another home, and knocked over another tree that damage a truck. One person was injured when the tornado winds rushed into her home and pushed her three feet against a banister. Numerous vehicles in a WalMart parking lot had broken windows from airborne debris. It overturned, moved, and slightly damaged two trailers about 50 yards at a local business where it also snapped 3 light poles. At least two to three dozen trees were uprooted or had broken limbs. The beginning and ending lat/lon pairs of numbers were: 42.70306/-87.91533 and 42.68797/-8782715. The EF-rating was based on DI 27 (FR12), DOD3 EXP, which suggests maximum wind speeds about 95 to 100 mph.||Elsewhere, rear flank downdraft winds from the storm produced scattered minor damage over the extreme southeast corner of Racine County and northeast Kenosha County.

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 Sturtevant — does that mean my roof is damaged?

I am buying a home in Sturtevant — 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.
