Hail in Heath, TX on April 13, 2022
Radar-estimated up to 1.25" (half dollar size)
Weather radar estimated hail of up to 1.25" (half dollar size) over Heath between 7:54 AM and 8:09 AM, from 4 separate radar hail signatures inside the town. No spotter or NOAA ground report was filed inside the town that day, which is common: most hail falls where nobody is measuring it.
What half dollar-size hail does to a roof
Hail in this range commonly bruises asphalt shingles and knocks off the protective granules. The roof may look fine from the street and still have lost years of life; soft metals like vents and gutters usually show the dents first. Radar describes the storm, not your shingles: the only way to know what a particular roof took is an inspection. Most homeowner policies set a deadline for reporting storm damage, so check your policy.
Every home inside a storm's radar footprint, scored by roof age, material and hail history, sold to a few roofers only so you are not the twentieth truck on the street.
