Evidence / storm surfaces
How Strawn 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.
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.
Only the radar-estimated size surface resolved for Mar 10, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Strawn, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Mar 10, 2026 sits in Strawn's hail record.
This was Strawn's 1st recorded hail day — the first hail day in our records for the city. By severity it ranks 2nd of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Strawn at 1.5" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Mar 10, 2026 convective day was bigger than Strawn: the same system put hail over 470 other tracked cities, 88 of them in Texas. Nearest: Ranger (11 miles northwest, up to 1.25"); Gordon (18 miles northeast, up to 1.25"); Cisco (26 miles west, up to 1.75").

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.
Hail reports
1 reportHigh damage potential
What 1.5" hail means for Strawn 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
$18M
Potential roof exposure — 1,494 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 7 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$105K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,494 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
March 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around March 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 $314 on top of the $150 plan.
