Where does hail history data come from?
Orbit's hail history lookup reads the National Weather Service's Local Storm Reports, the official log of hail sizes, measured wind gusts and wind damage reported by trained spotters, the public, law enforcement and weather stations. The archive is served by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet at Iowa State University.
Why doesn't a storm show up for my address?
A storm report is a single point where someone measured or saw hail or wind, so a storm can cross a neighbourhood without a report landing within a mile of every house. That is why the lookup lets you widen the search to 5, 10 or 25 miles. A quiet result close in is common even after a real storm.
Radar-based hail maps estimate the whole path of a storm and fill those gaps. Orbit's storm map adds radar replay and the hail swath for any date; this free lookup shows the reports alone.
How do I find the date of loss for a roof insurance claim?
The date of loss is the day the storm damaged the roof. Look for the day with the largest hail or strongest wind closest to the property, then match it against when the homeowner noticed the damage. The lookup groups reports by the property's local day, so an evening storm isn't listed under the next date.
In Utah, the Utah storm list shows every significant hail and wind day statewide, with the towns hit.
Every job's storm history, one tap away
Orbit checks hail and wind history on every job, sets the date of loss for the claim, and replays the radar for any storm. Free plan included.
