The estimated-size surface reached 0.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Bicknell that day. Open it on the live map to see the swath over the streets.
A tornado was also reported to the National Weather Service during this storm. The ground reports below show where it was filed.

Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.

Evidence / storm surfaces
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Jun 21, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Bicknell, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Bicknell's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 36 days after the May 16, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Bicknell at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 21, 2026 convective day was bigger than Bicknell: the same system put hail over 415 other tracked cities, 22 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Wheatland (12 miles southeast, up to 1"); Vincennes (15 miles south, up to 1"); Lawrenceville (17 miles west, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Bicknell 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
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.
“Late report of an EF-0 tornado with path length of 0.30 miles and a maximum path width of 80 yards that began at this location. The peak winds were 85 mph with damage m (IND)”

Below the severe threshold
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
Potential roof exposure
$3M
Potential roof exposure — 250 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 250 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
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 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 $53 on top of the $150 plan.
