What 1.5" hail means for Normal roofs

At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.

How it works

Watch the hail live. Then reach the homes under it.

This page is a snapshot. In the app, Normal is a live hail map — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as storms form, NWS spotter reports pinned as they're filed, and a replay you can scrub over any past day. Draw the footprint that matters and the addresses inside fill in, ready to mail or call.

  1. 01 Draw

    Outline the ground you want

    A cul-de-sac, a hail swath, a single house, a whole metro. Freehand polygon or snap to a hex grid — whatever shape the job actually is.

    Any shape, any size
    no minimum area
  2. 02 Fill

    Every address inside it appears

    Overview estimates how many addresses sit inside your outline from real building footprints, so you know the size and cost before you commit. When the real addresses come back, the charge is trued up to match — refunded if the estimate ran high.

    ~1,284 addresses
    an estimate up front, settled to the real count
  3. 03 Match

    Residents and phone numbers fill in

    Names and phone numbers attach wherever we find a match, each dated to when it was last confirmed and flagged if it's on the Do Not Call registry. Not every address returns a resident — the ones that come back empty are refunded, so you never pay for a blank.

    Name + phone
    charged only where a resident is found
  4. 04 Reach

    Mail them, call them, or both

    Send a postcard to every address from inside Overview, or export the matched records for your phone room. The area you drew is yours to work either way.
