Evidence / storm surfaces
How Seffner 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.
Radar signature field The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.
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.
The storm in context
Where Jul 10, 2026 sits in Seffner's hail record.
This was Seffner's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 14 days after the Jun 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Seffner at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Jul 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Seffner: the same system put hail over 682 other tracked cities, 89 of them in Florida. Nearest: Brandon (7 miles south, up to 2.5"); Plant City (12 miles east, up to 0.5"); Wesley Chapel (14 miles north, up to 2").

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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Mango — beyond Seffner itself.
Severe hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Seffner 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$58M
Potential roof exposure — 4,859 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 24 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$360K
Close just 0.5% of the 4,859 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 $1,020 on top of the $150 plan.
