Evidence / storm surfaces
How De Graff 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 Aug 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over De Graff, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 19, 2026 sits in De Graff's hail record.
This was De Graff's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the Aug 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 8th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over De Graff at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than De Graff: the same system put hail over 496 other tracked cities, 1 of them in Ohio. Nearest: West Liberty (9 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Alexandria (92 miles west, up to 0.5"); Noblesville (106 miles west, up to 0.75").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 8 De Graff 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.
Nobody on the ground filed a report over De Graff for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for De Graff roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$816K
Potential roof exposure — 68 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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 $14 on top of the $150 plan.
