Hail in Villa Verde, TX on May 8, 2025
Radar-estimated up to 1.5" (ping-pong ball size)
Weather radar estimated hail of up to 1.5" (ping-pong ball size) over Villa Verde between 2:35 PM and 2:39 PM, from 2 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 ping-pong ball-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.
