Evidence / storm surfaces
How Delphos saw the hail — from two instruments
Aug 12, 2026 · Delphos, OH
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
0.75"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Aug 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Delphos, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 12, 2026 sits in Delphos's hail record.
This was Delphos's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 40 days after the Jul 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 3rd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Delphos at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Delphos: the same system put hail over 507 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Ohio. Nearest: Venedocia (5 miles west, up to 0.75"); Lima (9 miles southeast, up to 0.75"); Van Wert (10 miles west, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Delphos 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.

Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Delphos 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.
1,535 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$18M
Potential roof exposure — 1,535 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 1,535 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.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 13, 2026.
