The estimated-size surface reached 1.5" aloft; NEXRAD logged no point detections over Wheatfield 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.

Evidence / storm surfaces
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 Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Wheatfield, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Wheatfield's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Wheatfield at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Wheatfield: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Indiana. Nearest: Demotte (10 miles west, up to 1"); La Crosse (12 miles northeast, up to 1.5"); Fair Oaks (15 miles southwest, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Wheatfield 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.

Storm forensics
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 17 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Stoutsburg — beyond Wheatfield itself.
High damage potential
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
Potential roof exposure
$53M
Potential roof exposure — 4,442 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 4,442 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
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 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 $933 on top of the $150 plan.
