Evidence / storm surfaces
How Haven saw the hail — from two instruments
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 Oct 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Haven, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Oct 13, 2026 sits in Haven's hail record.
This was Haven's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 60 days after the Aug 14, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Haven at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Oct 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than Haven: the same system put hail over 183 other tracked cities, 57 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Mount Hope (5 miles east, up to 0.75"); Buhler (14 miles north, up to 0.5"); Cheney (14 miles south, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 Haven 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
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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Haven. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Haven 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
$780K
Potential roof exposure — 65 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
October 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around October 2028 — the window to reach these homeowners while it's still open. Deadlines vary by policy and state.
