Evidence / storm surfaces
How Gilmer 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 Gilmer's hail record.
This was Gilmer's 6th recorded hail day, arriving 2 days after the May 8, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 9th of the 13 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Gilmer at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The May 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Gilmer: the same system put hail over 350 other tracked cities, 259 of them in Texas. Nearest: Big Sandy (12 miles west, up to 1"); Winnsboro (23 miles northwest, up to 2.5"); Quitman (37 miles west, 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.
For this storm over Gilmer, the NWS report log is empty — a common outcome, since ground reports only happen when someone witnesses the hail and takes the time to call it in. The detection record for the date lives in the radar maps above.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Gilmer 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
$3.1M
Potential roof exposure — 262 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 1 job
- Illustrative work
- ~$15K
Close just 0.5% of the 262 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 $55 on top of the $150 plan.
