Evidence / storm surfaces
How Clarks Hill 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 Sep 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Clarks Hill, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 15, 2026 sits in Clarks Hill's hail record.
This was Clarks Hill's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 35 days after the Aug 11, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Clarks Hill at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Clarks Hill: the same system put hail over 169 other tracked cities, 10 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Frankfort (5 miles east, up to 0.5"); Attica (30 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Williamsport (39 miles west, up to 0.5").

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.
For this storm over Clarks Hill, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Clarks Hill 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
$7.4M
Potential roof exposure — 617 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 3 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$45K
Close just 0.5% of the 617 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
September 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around September 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 $130 on top of the $150 plan.
