Two ways to read the storm

How Tuttle 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.

The storm in context

Where May 8, 2026 sits in Tuttle's hail record

This was Tuttle's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 35 days after the Apr 3, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 6 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Tuttle at 1.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The May 8, 2026 convective day was bigger than Tuttle: the same system put hail over 378 other tracked cities, 115 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Newcastle (9 miles east, up to 1.5"); Mustang (10 miles north, up to 3.5"); Minco (15 miles west, up to 4").

These maps are stills from Tuttle's May 8, 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.

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.

Nobody on the ground filed a report over Tuttle for this date, which says more about who was watching than about the storm: spotter reports only exist where there is an observer. The radar surfaces above carry the evidence for this one.

Widespread claimable damage

What 1.5" hail means for Tuttle 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

$32M

Potential roof exposure — 2,672 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 2,672 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.
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.

Other storms in Tuttle

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.
