Evidence / storm surfaces
How Comanche 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.
Radar-estimated maximum hail size across the swath, modeled from radar aloft. It reflects the biggest stone the storm could support, which may differ from what actually fell.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Sep 27, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Comanche, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Sep 27, 2026 sits in Comanche's hail record.
This was Comanche's 17th recorded hail day, arriving 83 days after the Jul 6, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 15th of the 17 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Comanche at 0.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Sep 27, 2026 convective day was bigger than Comanche: the same system put hail over 43 other tracked cities, 13 of them in Texas. Nearest: Hamilton (31 miles southeast, up to 0.5"); Iredell (35 miles east, up to 0.5"); Evant (36 miles southeast, up to 0.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 17 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.
Below the severe threshold
What 0.5" hail means for Comanche 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
$1.1M
Potential roof exposure — 94 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
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 $20 on top of the $150 plan.
