Evidence / storm surfaces
How Eskridge 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 Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Eskridge, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Eskridge's hail record.
This was Eskridge's 13th recorded hail day, arriving 22 days after the Aug 21, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Eskridge at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Eskridge: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 113 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Allen (7 miles south, up to 0.75"); Alta Vista (15 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Admire (15 miles south, 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 Eskridge, 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Eskridge 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
$480K
Potential roof exposure — 40 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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 $8 on top of the $150 plan.
