What each number actually means
These are unique calendar days with at least one qualifying NOAA record inside the counties used for a metro—not a count of damaged roofs.
Days with any recorded hail size, including smaller hail that may not imply meaningful roof damage.
Days with at least one thunderstorm or high-wind record in the covered metro counties.
Days with at least one tornado record. It indicates regional history, not address-level exposure.
An upper-range recorded magnitude. Nine in 10 included records were at or below this value, limiting the pull of one extreme outlier.

Source credibility
Federal weather records, made useful for roofing decisions
NOAA is the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. federal science agency responsible for weather and climate information. Its Storm Events records support the official Storm Data publication and are entered by National Weather Service offices.
RooferDirectory groups those records into unique metro and state record days, then calculates the comparison measures shown here. NOAA supplies the underlying observations; the organization, geographic groupings, and roofing-oriented signals are RooferDirectory's work.
What is inside the CSV?
Each row is one metro. Columns identify the place and analysis period, then list unique days for any hail, hail of 1 inch or larger, wind, and tornado records. Upper-range hail and wind columns show the 90th-percentile magnitude. County coverage fields document the geographic footprint. Dataset version 2.1.0-shadow was processed Aug 21, 2026.
Reporting practices vary across place and time. Regional records cannot prove conditions at an address, predict the next storm, replace an inspection, or serve as an official NOAA rating.
