Severe hail signal

What 2.25" hail means for California roofs.

Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

How contractors use us

Three steps from radar to a door.

Turn a storm date into doors

The app is live: radar as it happens, NWS reports as they're filed, a replay of any past day. These California pages rebuild nightly from the same feed. Most hail maps stop at where it hailed — Overview's also hands you who lives under it. Draw the footprint and pull the homeowner list for every address inside.

01 Watch

Open California on the live map: live radar, NWS reports as they're filed, and a replay of any past storm day. Every date in the record below is on it.

02 Draw

Draw the swath, a neighborhood, or a single street. The address count and the cost show before you buy a record.

03 Knock

Names and phones for the homes inside, or mail them a postcard straight from the map. Pay per record — no minimums, no list-broker markup.

Live radar in the app; these pages rebuild nightly from public storm reporting, and the totals are estimates. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address.
