Severity
Overview's storm severity score weighs hailstone size, homes in the footprint, and ground-truth reports.

Evidence / storm surfaces
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 Mar 6, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Edwardsburg, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
This was Edwardsburg's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 1st of the 4 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Edwardsburg at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 6, 2026 convective day was bigger than Edwardsburg: the same system put hail over 486 other tracked cities, 21 of them in Michigan. Nearest: Cassopolis (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Dowagiac (9 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Three Rivers (25 miles northeast, up to 1.25").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 4 Edwardsburg 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.
“*** 1 FATAL *** A disorganized circulation touched down northwest of the intersection of Runkle St and Conrad Rd... destroying an attached garage and damaging the front (IWX)”

“Picture obtained of damage to a house in this location. Time estimated by radar. (IWX)”

Storm forensics
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 70 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Eagle Lake — beyond Edwardsburg itself.
Near the severe threshold
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
Potential roof exposure
$7.2M
Potential roof exposure — 601 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Close just 0.5% of the 601 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 $126 on top of the $150 plan.
