What this page is, and what it is not
This page lists public NOAA weather records. Radar sizes are estimates, and a radar signature does not prove hail fell at a particular house. Ground reports are where people saw hail, so they can miss areas. This page does not say whether any property has damage or whether to file a claim, and it is not insurance, legal or contracting advice. How we count.
