Evidence / storm surfaces
How Logansport saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Feb 18, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Logansport, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Feb 18, 2026 sits in Logansport's hail record.
This was Logansport's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Logansport at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Feb 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Logansport: the same system put hail over 19 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Delphi (16 miles west, up to 0.5"); Peru (17 miles northeast, up to 0.75"); Wabash (30 miles northeast, up to 0.75").

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 12 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Dunkirk and Lake Cicott — beyond Logansport itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Logansport roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$103M
Potential roof exposure — 8,542 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 43 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$645K
Close just 0.5% of the 8,542 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
February 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around February 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
