Evidence / storm surfaces
How Crescent saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Crescent, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Crescent's hail record.
This was Crescent's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 70 days after the Jul 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 9 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Crescent at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Crescent: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 66 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Cashion (7 miles south, up to 1"); Kingfisher (14 miles west, up to 1"); Marshall (21 miles north, up to 0.5").

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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Cashion — beyond Crescent itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Crescent roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$1.1M
Potential roof exposure — 90 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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 $19 on top of the $150 plan.
