The estimated-size surface reached 0.75" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Walton 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
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 Jun 16, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Walton, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Walton's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 63 days after the Apr 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 2 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Walton at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 16, 2026 convective day was bigger than Walton: the same system put hail over 225 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Bunker Hill (9 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Logansport (10 miles west, up to 1"); Amboy (13 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 2 Walton 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.

Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Lincoln — beyond Walton itself.
Near the severe threshold
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
Potential roof exposure
$26M
Potential roof exposure — 2,180 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 2,180 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 $458 on top of the $150 plan.
