Evidence / storm surfaces
How New Cambria 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 Aug 13, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over New Cambria, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 13, 2026 sits in New Cambria's hail record.
This was New Cambria's 10th recorded hail day, arriving 21 days after the Jul 23, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 10 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over New Cambria at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 13, 2026 convective day was bigger than New Cambria: the same system put hail over 437 other tracked cities, 62 of them in Kansas. Nearest: Salina (9 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Solomon (14 miles north, up to 1"); Assaria (15 miles south, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 10 New Cambria 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.
For this storm over New Cambria, 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for New Cambria roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$10M
Potential roof exposure — 859 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 4 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$60K
Close just 0.5% of the 859 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
August 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around August 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 $180 on top of the $150 plan.
