Evidence / storm surfaces
How Spur 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.
Estimated size field 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 Oct 14, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Spur, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Oct 14, 2026 sits in Spur's hail record.
This was Spur's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 1 day after the Oct 13, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 6th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Spur at 1.25" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Oct 14, 2026 convective day was bigger than Spur: the same system put hail over 27 other tracked cities, 11 of them in Texas. Nearest: Justiceburg (39 miles south, up to 0.75"); Tahoka (50 miles southwest, up to 0.75"); Odonnell (62 miles southwest, up to 0.75").

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 Spur. 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.
Damage-capable hail signal
What 1.25" hail means for Spur roofs.
Quarter-size and larger hail can bruise asphalt mats, remove granules, and dent exposed soft metal. The mapped footprint identifies an inspection priority area — it does not identify which individual roofs, if any, sustained damage.

Roofing exposure
What this storm is worth to a roofer.
Potential roof exposure
$564K
Potential roof exposure — 47 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
Claim window
October 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around October 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 $10 on top of the $150 plan.
