Evidence / storm surfaces
How Sandstone 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 Jun 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Sandstone, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 10, 2026 sits in Sandstone's hail record.
This was Sandstone's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 15 days after the May 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Sandstone at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Sandstone: the same system put hail over 777 other tracked cities, 113 of them in Minnesota. Nearest: Askov (12 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Bruno (14 miles north, up to 0.75"); Willow River (15 miles north, up to 0.75").

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Hail was reported over 41 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Askov — beyond Sandstone itself.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Sandstone 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
$5.4M
Potential roof exposure — 446 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 446 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
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 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 $94 on top of the $150 plan.
