Evidence / storm surfaces
How Deland saw the hail — from two instruments
Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated hail size over the swath. The model reports the biggest stone the storm could sustain in the air; what actually fell may have been smaller.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jul 17, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Deland, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jul 17, 2026 sits in Deland's hail record.
This was Deland's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 5 days after the Jul 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Deland at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jul 17, 2026 convective day was bigger than Deland: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 71 of them in Florida. Nearest: Paisley (6 miles west, up to 0.5"); Eustis (9 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Sanford (15 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Deland storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
Ground reports
What people on the ground reported
These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over Deland for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Deland roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$31M
Potential roof exposure — 2,582 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 13 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$195K
Close just 0.5% of the 2,582 homes in this footprint at the average $15,000 roof job. Illustrative math, not a projection — your results depend on your outreach and how the market responds.
Claim window
July 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around July 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $542 on top of the $150 plan.
