Evidence / storm surfaces
How Camden saw the hail — from two instruments
The maps here read the same storm from two angles — point detections from NEXRAD, and modeled hail size aloft. Where the two disagree is informative: it marks where estimated size outran the signatures, or trailed them.
The modeled maximum hail size across the swath, derived from radar aloft — the largest stone the storm could have supported, which is not necessarily what reached the ground.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 22, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Camden, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 22, 2026 sits in Camden's hail record.
This was Camden's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 58 days after the Jul 26, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Camden at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 22, 2026 convective day was bigger than Camden: the same system put hail over 97 other tracked cities, 9 of them in Tennessee. Nearest: Big Sandy (7 miles north, up to 0.5"); Paris (18 miles northwest, up to 0.5"); Puryear (27 miles northwest, up to 0.75").

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 Camden. 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Camden roofs.
Radar signals under three-quarters of an inch stay below the National Weather Service severe threshold and generally indicate lower roof risk. Older or already-worn materials can still show effects, but radar alone cannot determine whether a specific roof was damaged.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$2.3M
Potential roof exposure — 194 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 194 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 $41 on top of the $150 plan.
