Evidence / storm surfaces
How Dublin 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.
Radar signature field Where NEXRAD flagged hail as the storm passed — point signatures from the radar, which indicate hail overhead rather than confirm what landed.
Estimated size field 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.
The storm in context
Where May 10, 2026 sits in Dublin's hail record.
This was Dublin's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the May 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 7 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Dublin at 4" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Dublin: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Carlton (12 miles southeast, up to 3.75"); De Leon (12 miles west, up to 1.25"); Stephenville (16 miles northeast, up to 4").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 7 Dublin 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.

Storm forensics
How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
The storm tracked south at roughly 20 mph, based on the timing of ground reports.
Hail was reported over 66 minutes, from to .
Reports came from Gustine — beyond Dublin itself.
Severe hail signal
What 4" hail means for Dublin 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
$23M
Potential roof exposure — 1,879 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 9 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$135K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,879 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 $395 on top of the $150 plan.
