Honest use
How to read this record
A report is a start point, not a footprint: hail and wind can vary sharply over short distances. Distance in the tables is from central Lowell, not from your roof.
The record also cannot prove your roof was hurt, or spare it. What it does is date the possibilities: if your ceiling stained in May 2026, the April 28 hail is a suspect with a paper trail.
To turn a date into a decision, the insurance claims guide explains the claims side, and a free inspection answers for your address specifically.
Reading the data
Storm record questions
My street is not listed. Does that mean we were not hit?
No. NOAA records reports, not coverage: a storm needs someone to measure and report it. Absence of a report is absence of paperwork, not proof of calm. The reverse is also true: a nearby report does not prove your roof took damage.
A report says Cave Springs or Rogers. Does it apply to my roof?
Possibly. Hail swaths and wind fields run miles wide, so a measured report four miles away frequently means something fell on Lowell too: smaller, larger or nothing at all. That is exactly what an inspection settles.
Why do wind speeds say estimated?
NOAA records wind in knots and marks many gusts EG, estimated gust, meaning the value came from damage indicators or spotter judgment rather than an instrument. This page converts to miles per hour and keeps the estimated label, because pretending precision is how trust dies.
From record to roof
Turn a date into an answer
If one of these dates matches your street's story, the free inspection checks what is actually true on your roof, which no nearby report can settle on its own.
