Evidence / storm surfaces
How Moran 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 Apr 11, 2026 sits in Moran's hail record.
This was Moran's 2nd recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the Mar 10, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 1st of the 3 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Moran at 1.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.
The Apr 11, 2026 convective day was bigger than Moran: the same system put hail over 134 other tracked cities, 8 of them in Texas. Nearest: Cisco (20 miles southeast, up to 1.75"); Abilene (29 miles west, up to 0.75"); Breckenridge (31 miles northeast, up to 0").

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.

How the storm moved
Read from the arrival times and locations of the NOAA ground reports, not a radar-measured storm track.
Reports came from Ibex — beyond Moran itself.
High damage potential
What 1.75" hail means for Moran 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.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$3M
Potential roof exposure — 248 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 248 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
April 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around April 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 $52 on top of the $150 plan.
