Evidence / storm surfaces
How Comanche 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.
Estimated size field 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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Apr 15, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Comanche, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Apr 15, 2026 sits in Comanche's hail record.
This was Comanche's 5th recorded hail day, arriving 3 days after the Apr 12, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 12th of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Comanche at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Apr 15, 2026 convective day was bigger than Comanche: the same system put hail over 425 other tracked cities, 47 of them in Texas. Nearest: Zephyr (11 miles south, up to 1.25"); Early (15 miles west, up to 1.25"); Gustine (21 miles east, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 16 Comanche storm dates on a live map — both surfaces, the reports, and a replay — and the same map is where you draw the swath. This page rebuilds nightly.
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.
The National Weather Service logged no spotter reports for this storm over Comanche. That absence is ordinary — filing a report takes a person on the spot who saw the hail and phoned it in. What stands as the record for this date is the radar above, which caught the storm regardless.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Comanche roofs.
A signal this size sits near the National Weather Service severe threshold. Aging shingles and soft metals such as vents, flashing, and gutters may be more vulnerable; roof age, wind, and material condition all matter, and only an inspection can confirm damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$4.3M
Potential roof exposure — 360 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 2 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$30K
Close just 0.5% of the 360 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
April 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 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 $76 on top of the $150 plan.
