Evidence / storm surfaces
How Florence saw the hail — from two instruments
May 19, 2026 · Florence, TX
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.
Radar-estimated hail size Surface resolved
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.
Max size
1.5"
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for May 19, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Florence, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where May 19, 2026 sits in Florence's hail record.
This was Florence's 3rd recorded hail day, arriving 9 days after the May 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 5 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Florence at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The May 19, 2026 convective day was bigger than Florence: the same system put hail over 263 other tracked cities, 151 of them in Texas. Nearest: Briggs (8 miles northwest, up to 1.5"); Killeen (8 miles northeast, up to 1"); Bertram (9 miles west, up to 1.5").
These maps are stills. In the app this date is one of 5 Florence 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.

High damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Florence roofs.
Hail around an inch and a half is capable of cracking shingles, stripping granules, and denting gutters, vents, and siding. Risk is usually greatest near the strongest radar signal, but property-level damage still requires an on-site inspection.

5,030 homes × $12,000 avg. claim
Potential roof exposure
$60M
Potential roof exposure — 5,030 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.

Close just 0.5% of the 5,030 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.

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon
UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that
spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground
reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm
Prediction Center. Radar tells you where to look. Only an inspection confirms damage at an address. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
