An instant YES/NO for any U.S. address

The Free Report Snapshot answers one question in seconds, free: does the public weather record show estimated damaging wind (45 mph or stronger) or damage-capable hail (0.75 in. or larger) at this address? These screening thresholds sit below the official NWS severe criteria (58 mph / 1.00 in. hail) on purpose — sub-severe events still damage property. It checks radar-estimated hail (NOAA MRMS MESH) and the NWS wind analysis of record (URMA) at the property coordinates — the same data behind paid reports, condensed to a single honest answer.

Why start here

Before paying anyone — a contractor, a report vendor, anyone — you can know whether severe weather at your address is even plausible in the public record. A NO saves you money and pressure. A YES tells you it's worth looking at which dates: the Address Lookup shows warnings and NOAA context, and a $2.99 Single Weather Report details every qualifying date with estimates and evidence.

The fine print, plainly

Thresholds are StormAuditor screening thresholds — wind gusts of 45+ mph or hail of 0.75 in. or larger. They are deliberately below the official NWS severe criteria (58+ mph gusts, 1.00 in.+ hail) because sub-severe wind and hail still cause roof and property damage. A YES means the record supports estimated conditions at or above the screening threshold at the coordinates — not that damage occurred. A NO means the public record does not show it — not proof nothing happened. Methodology is published; limitations are documented.

Common questions

Did the storm hit my house? The snapshot checks your exact coordinates against the radar and analysis record — a YES means estimated damaging wind or damage-capable hail shows in the public record at the address itself, not just somewhere in your town.

How do I check hail history at my address for free? Run the snapshot, then use the free Address Lookup for warnings and NOAA context by date. The hail history guide explains what the record can and cannot show.

What wind speed damages a roof? Shingles on aged or poorly-fastened roofs can lift from gusts in the 45–60 mph range, well below the NWS severe criterion — the free Wind Damage Guide maps each gust band to what it can do.
