Evidence / storm surfaces
How Strawn 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 Jun 18, 2026 — this storm produced no NEXRAD point detections over Strawn, so there is one map to show, not two.
The storm in context
Where Jun 18, 2026 sits in Strawn's hail record.
This was Strawn's 8th recorded hail day, arriving 16 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 4th of the 11 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Strawn at 0.75" — radar-estimated size aloft.
The Jun 18, 2026 convective day was bigger than Strawn: the same system put hail over 221 other tracked cities, 67 of them in Texas. Nearest: Ranger (11 miles northwest, up to 0.75"); Eastland (15 miles west, up to 0.5"); Gordon (18 miles northeast, 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 Strawn. 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.
Near the severe threshold
What 0.75" hail means for Strawn 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
$14M
Potential roof exposure — 1,165 homes × the ~$12,000 industry-average hail roof claim. Exposure, not confirmed damage.
- Illustrative jobs
- 6 jobs
- Illustrative work
- ~$90K
Close just 0.5% of the 1,165 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
June 2028
Claims from this storm can typically be filed until around June 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 $245 on top of the $150 plan.
