Evidence / storm surfaces
How Kingfisher saw the hail — from two instruments
Two instruments, one storm: NEXRAD logs the point signatures it detected overhead, while the estimated-size surface models how large the hail aloft could have grown. Agreement between them is not guaranteed — the gaps are where the model ran ahead of, or behind, the detections.
Estimated size field Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 12, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Kingfisher, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 12, 2026 sits in Kingfisher's hail record.
This was Kingfisher's 17th recorded hail day, arriving 36 days after the Aug 7, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Kingfisher at 1" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 12, 2026 convective day was bigger than Kingfisher: the same system put hail over 354 other tracked cities, 66 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Okarche (11 miles south, up to 0.75"); Loyal (13 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Cashion (14 miles east, up to 1").

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 Kingfisher itself.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1" hail means for Kingfisher 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
$45M
Potential roof exposure — 3,724 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 19 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$285K
Close just 0.5% of the 3,724 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
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 $782 on top of the $150 plan.
