Evidence / storm surfaces
How Comanche saw the hail — from two instruments
We map this storm two ways: the NEXRAD radar signatures the storm produced overhead, and the radar-estimated size of the hail in the air. The two surfaces don’t have to match — where they diverge is where estimated size aloft ran ahead of, or behind, what the signatures caught.
Radar signature field NEXRAD radar signatures — the point detections the storm produced overhead. A signature is where the radar saw hail, not a confirmed stone on the ground.
Estimated size field Maximum hail size as estimated from radar aloft. Treat it as the storm's ceiling — the largest supportable stone — rather than a ground measurement.
The storm in context
Where May 10, 2026 sits in Comanche's hail record.
This was Comanche's 9th recorded hail day, arriving 11 days after the Apr 29, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 16 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Comanche at 2.5" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Comanche: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Mullin (11 miles south, up to 1.75"); Energy (15 miles east, up to 3"); Hamilton (18 miles southeast, up to 4").

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.
Hail reports
1 reportSevere hail signal
What 2.5" hail means for Comanche roofs.
Two-inch-plus hail is capable of puncturing shingles, breaking skylights or windows, and heavily denting soft materials. The strongest radar bands warrant prompt inspection, but neither the signal nor the footprint confirms damage at a specific address.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$8.1M
Potential roof exposure — 679 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 3 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$45K
Close just 0.5% of the 679 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
May 2028
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.
Names and phones for every home in the footprint: at most $143 on top of the $150 plan.
