Latest Hail Reports in Central Texas
No hail reports have been loaded yet. Check back after the next storm.
These are hail reports from trained spotters and the public, collected by NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. They mark where hail was seen, not the full path of a storm, so hail can fall between reports. Only an inspection can confirm roof damage.
How the Hail Map Works
Spring in Central Texas means hail, and most homeowners never see it hit their roof. LOA Construction and Roofing built this map so you can check for yourself.
- Enter your ZIP code. The map centers on your area and shows every hail report within a few miles.
- Read the summary. You’ll see how many reports there were, on which days, and the largest hail reported, with a size comparison like “quarter” or “golf ball”.
- Tap any dot for details. Each one is a single report, with its date, place, and hail size. Bigger dots mean bigger hail.
The map updates every morning with the previous day’s reports.
Where the Data Comes From
The reports come from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center, which collects hail reports from trained storm spotters, emergency managers, and the public. It’s free, public data, and it’s the same source news stations use after a storm.
One honest limit: a report marks a place where hail was seen, not the full path of the storm. Hail can fall between reports, and a storm can drop hail on your street without anyone filing a report there. If hail was reported near you, it’s worth having your roof checked even if you didn’t see it yourself.
Get a Hail Alert After the Next Storm
Most hail damage is found weeks or months later, when a leak shows up. An alert lets you catch it early. Sign up with your ZIP code, and we’ll send one text or email the morning after hail is reported near you. No spam, and you can stop anytime.
What Hail Does to a Roof
Hail doesn’t always leave a hole. On shingles, it often knocks off the protective granules and bruises the mat underneath, which shortens the roof’s life and lets water in later. On metal, it can dent panels and seams. On tile, it can crack pieces you can’t see from the ground. Our page on hail damage repair shows what we look for.
If you’re thinking about a new roof, Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are rated to stand up to hail. Our roof material quiz can help you compare them with other materials.
After a Storm: What to Do
- Check from the ground for missing shingles, dents in gutters and vents, and granules collecting at your downspouts
- Look in the attic and on top-floor ceilings for new stains
- Take photos of anything you find, with the date
- Have a roofer inspect before you call your insurance company, so you know what you’re dealing with

Frequently Asked Questions
How Far Back Does the Hail Map Go?
The map shows the last two years of reports. That covers most insurance claim windows, but every policy is different, so check yours.
Why Doesn’t the Map Show Hail I Saw?
Reports only appear where someone filed one. If you saw hail and it isn’t on the map, it still happened. Take photos and have your roof checked.
How Big Does Hail Have to Be to Damage a Roof?
Larger hail does more damage, but even smaller hail can harm an older roof, and wind makes any hail hit harder. The only way to know is an inspection.
Will My Insurance Cover Hail Damage?
Hail damage is often covered by homeowner’s insurance, but every policy is different. LOA can inspect your roof, document the damage, and assist with your insurance claim.
How Do I Stop Hail Alerts?
