DFW hail history by ZIP code
A homeowner reference for Collin and Rockwall County: where to pull verified storm records, what the numbers mean, and how they affect a roof claim.
How do I find hail history for my address?
Pull it from the NOAA Storm Events Database at ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents: filter by Texas, your county, a date range, and the Hail event type. It lists reported stone size, date, and location for each event. Your local National Weather Service office publishes storm reports for recent storms.

| Source | What it gives you | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| NOAA Storm Events Database | Reported hail size, date, county, and location | Confirming a date of loss |
| National Weather Service Fort Worth office | Local storm reports and summaries | Recent storms |
| Your insurance carrier | The date of loss they have on file | Matching the claim to the storm |
| Your own photos | Dated evidence from the day | Supporting the claim |
| John's Roofing inspection | Photographed, counted damage on your actual roof | Proving the roof was hit |
| Approximate stone size | Common effect |
|---|---|
| Pea (0.25") | Rarely damages shingles; may still strip granules on very old roofs |
| Dime to quarter (0.75"-1") | Granule loss; bruising possible on aged or brittle shingles |
| Quarter to golf ball (1"-1.75") | Bruising and mat fracture become common; soft metals dent |
| Golf ball to tennis ball (1.75"-2.5") | Widespread mat fracture; replacement frequently warranted |
| Baseball and larger (2.75"+) | Punctures, broken tile, structural damage possible |
Size is only part of it. Shingle age, material, impact angle, and wind speed all change the outcome, which is why carriers require an on-roof inspection rather than a size lookup.

Questions people actually ask
How do I look up hail history for my ZIP code?
Use the NOAA Storm Events Database at ncdc.noaa.gov/stormevents, filter by state, county, and date range, and select the Hail event type. It returns reported hail size and location for each event. Your local National Weather Service office publishes storm reports for recent events.
What size hail damages a roof?
Damage depends on shingle age, material, and impact angle as well as stone size. Roughly one-inch hail is the point at which asphalt shingle bruising becomes common, though older or brittle shingles can be damaged by smaller stones. Only an on-roof inspection confirms it.
Can I file a claim for a hail storm from last year?
Possibly. Texas policies commonly require notice within one year of the date of loss, and many carriers ask for prompt notice. The date of loss must be identified, which is where storm records help. Confirm the deadline in your own policy before assuming either way.
