How Laverne 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.
NEXRAD radar signatures
The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

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.

Where May 9, 2026 sits in Laverne's hail record
This was Laverne's 4th recorded hail day, arriving 30 days after the Apr 9, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Laverne at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 9, 2026 convective day was bigger than Laverne: the same system put hail over 268 other tracked cities, 106 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Darrouzett (15 miles south, up to 1.75"); Beaver (15 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Follett (18 miles southeast, up to 2.5").
These maps are stills from Laverne's May 9, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.
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.

Reports came from Follett — beyond Laverne itself.
What 1.75" hail means for Laverne roofs
At an inch and a half, hail cracks shingles, strips granules down to the mat, and dents gutters, vents, and siding. A footprint like this typically produces a wave of insurance claims — and the contractor who reaches the homeowner first usually gets the inspection.
What this storm is worth to a roofer
$432K
Potential roof exposure — 36 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage. Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around May 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 surfaces are detections and estimates,
not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 3, 2026.
