Frequently Asked Questions

What is Weather Radar Near Me?

Weather Radar Near Me is a location-aware tool that shows live NEXRAD Doppler radar centered on your position, plus 3 years of hail, wind, and tornado history within 5 miles. It helps homeowners and roofing contractors identify storm damage opportunities and support insurance claims.

How does storm history help with insurance claims?

Insurance companies typically allow roof damage claims within 2 years of a documented hail storm. Our "Golden Storm" badge highlights storms that are within this claim window. Having verified NOAA storm data near your property provides evidence to support your claim.

How accurate is the location detection?

We use a combination of browser geolocation (GPS when available) and IP-based geolocation. GPS is typically accurate to within 10 meters. IP geolocation is usually accurate to the city level. You can also manually enter any address to search.

What size hail causes roof damage?

Generally, hail 1" (quarter-sized) or larger can cause roof damage, but damage depends on roof age, material, and hail velocity. Golf ball-sized hail (1.75") typically causes significant damage, and baseball-sized hail (2.75") or larger almost always results in major damage requiring replacement.
