Evidence / storm surfaces
How Deridder 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 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Deridder, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 14, 2026 sits in Deridder's hail record.
This was Deridder's 15th recorded hail day, arriving 7 days after the Sep 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 15 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Deridder at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Deridder: the same system put hail over 110 other tracked cities, 2 of them in Louisiana. Nearest: Beaumont (75 miles southwest, up to 0.5"); Saint Amant (150 miles east, up to 0.75"); Rayville (151 miles northeast, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 15 Deridder 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 Deridder, 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 Deridder 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
$2M
Potential roof exposure — 167 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 167 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
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 $35 on top of the $150 plan.
