Evidence / storm surfaces
How Labelle 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 May 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Labelle, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 12, 2026 sits in Labelle's hail record.
This was Labelle's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 65 days after the Mar 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 15th of the 23 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Labelle at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Labelle: the same system put hail over 18 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Florida. Nearest: Okeechobee (46 miles northeast, up to 1"); Port Saint Lucie (75 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Lake Wales (86 miles north, up to 2.75").

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 Labelle 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Labelle roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$2.7M
Potential roof exposure — 221 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 221 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
May 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 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 $46 on top of the $150 plan.
