Evidence / storm surfaces
How Cory 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 Aug 11, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Cory, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 11, 2026 sits in Cory's hail record.
This was Cory's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 55 days after the Jun 17, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Cory at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Cory: the same system put hail over 1,041 other tracked cities, 170 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Lewis (7 miles south, up to 1.25"); Pimento (9 miles southwest, up to 1.5"); Terre Haute (11 miles west, up to 1.5").

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 Cory, 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.
High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Cory roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$9.8M
Potential roof exposure — 819 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 4 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$60K
Close just 0.5% of the 819 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
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 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 $172 on top of the $150 plan.
