Evidence / storm surfaces
How El Reno 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 7, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over El Reno, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Aug 7, 2026 sits in El Reno's hail record.
This was El Reno's 12th recorded hail day, arriving 34 days after the Jul 4, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 7th of the 12 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over El Reno at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Aug 7, 2026 convective day was bigger than El Reno: the same system put hail over 709 other tracked cities, 64 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Yukon (12 miles east, up to 0.75"); Minco (14 miles south, up to 0.5"); Okarche (14 miles north, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 12 El Reno 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.
No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over El Reno. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for El Reno 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
$57M
Potential roof exposure — 4,770 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 24 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$360K
Close just 0.5% of the 4,770 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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $1,002 on top of the $150 plan.
