FAQ

Hail in Hill City: quick answers

When did it last hail in Hill City?

The most recent recorded hail in Hill City fell 16 days ago — on Aug 27, 2026. 15 hail days have been recorded since May 3, 2026. This page reflects the most recent build of Overview's hail data, not live radar.

What's the largest hail signal recorded in Hill City?

The highest radar-indicated hail size recorded in Hill City was 3" — about the size of a baseball — on Jul 3, 2026. That figure is a NEXRAD radar signature, not a ground measurement.

How often does Hill City get hail?

Overview recorded 15 hail days in Hill City over the last 12 months. Hail season in Hill City peaks May–August. Across all records, 15 hail days have been logged since May 3, 2026.

Can I still file an insurance claim for hail damage in Hill City?

Hill City has had 15 recorded hail storms in the last 24 months. Homeowner insurance policies commonly allow one to two years to file a hail-damage claim, but deadlines vary by policy and state — check your policy or ask a roofer for an inspection. This is general information, not legal or insurance advice.

How many homes are inside Hill City's mapped hail areas?

Roughly 1,057 homes sit inside Hill City's recorded hail footprints, based on building-footprint data intersected with the recorded hail.

How do I get a list of homeowners inside a mapped hail area in Hill City?

Use Overview on iPhone to explore Hill City hail, choose a recommended area or draw your own, and work the addresses inside it. The iPhone onboarding trial lasts 7 days, includes 200 addresses, and requires no card to start. Optional homeowner contacts cost $0.21 each where available. Web checkout has separate trial terms; see the pricing page.

How accurate is the Hill City hail map?

Each Hill City storm date is drawn from two radar surfaces — NEXRAD hail signatures and a radar-estimated hail size — with the NWS ground reports filed that day shown beside them. Radar is not ground truth: it can run larger or smaller than what fell, and it cannot see a single roof. Use the map to rank where to inspect first, then let the inspection decide.

NOAA's storm reports are free — what does Overview add?

We use them: every NWS report filed over Hill City is pinned to the map. What Overview adds is every storm date rendered as a swath over the streets, the estimated hail size in inches, a replay of any past day, the count of homes under the footprint, and the homeowner list for whatever shape you draw.
