Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dunnellon saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
Estimated size field The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Oct 9, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Dunnellon, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Oct 9, 2026 sits in Dunnellon's hail record.
This was Dunnellon's 14th recorded hail day, arriving 61 days after the Aug 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 14 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dunnellon at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Oct 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dunnellon: the same system put hail over 4 other tracked cities, 3 of them in Florida. Nearest: Inglis (12 miles west, up to 0.75"); Morriston (14 miles north, up to 0.5"); Middleburg (78 miles northeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 14 Dunnellon 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 Dunnellon 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Dunnellon roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$67M
Potential roof exposure — 5,581 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 28 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$420K
Close just 0.5% of the 5,581 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
October 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around October 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 $1,172 on top of the $150 plan.
