Federal storm record 1996 to today

Every storm on record at one address.

Type in any US address. A few minutes later you have a dated, cited hail and wind report for that property: every hail, wind, tornado, flood, fire and lightning event the federal record holds for it, each one traced back to the source it came from. Built for the moment a date of loss, an insurance claim, or a roof is in question.

The premise

The record already exists. It was just never filed under an address.

Seeing the damage is easy. Pinning down when it happened is the hard part. A claim, a repair scope or an expert opinion needs the day, the size of the hail, and where the record places it relative to the property.

All of that is already on record. NOAA, the National Weather Service, the Storm Prediction Center and the observer networks that report to them have been writing it down for thirty years, across a dozen different systems. Not one of them will answer a question about a street address.

Titan Weather asks all of them about one property and hands you a single document that shows where every number came from, so anyone reading it can check each line against the source.

A weather app will tell you it hailed somewhere nearby that week. This is for the professional who has to say which day, how big the stones were reported to be, how far from the roof the record places them, and where that is written down.

What is behind it

Every property weather report checks 14 independent government sources.

Every report asks all of them and tells you which ones answered, including the ones that found nothing. A source that came back empty is part of the answer. A search is only complete if it says what it covered.

Ground observation ×6 Somebody stood in it and measured it. A direct observation rather than a value worked out from an instrument.
Gridded analysis ×3 Real observations worked onto a grid. Labelled analyzed, never measured.
Radar detection ×1 Detected from the air and geolocated, independent of whether anyone was there to see it.
Official NWS warning ×1 An official boundary that was in force, with the property inside it.
Federal declaration ×1 Federal recognition that the area was hit, at county level.
Weather station ×1 Instrument readings from the nearest official station, with the distance stated.
Reanalysis model ×1 Modelled conditions for context. Always labelled as an estimate.

Measured Modelled or analyzed, and labelled that way ×n: independent sources feeding that kind

The records come from NOAA, the National Weather Service, the Storm Prediction Center, FEMA, NASA and the cooperative observer networks. Which of their datasets a report draws on, the scope each one is queried at, and how they are reconciled against each other is the methodology behind every report we issue.

The same record is published by place, without an account: hail history by city and wind history by city, each day cited to the same sources a report is.

How it works

How one address becomes a dated, cited record.

The address becomes a point on the map. Every source is checked for that point, at the scale it is actually accurate at, and every record is printed beside everything else that recorded the same storm.

The records table from a report, ten records numbered and grouped by hail, wind and tornado. Four hail records share the date 21 April 2023 and name four different sources: a spotter report at 0.8 miles, the finalized storm record at 1.4 miles, a radar detection at 0.6 miles, and the warning that contained the address.

Corroboration

One storm, recorded four different ways.

Most weather data on the market is one federal feed, resold. What matters when a figure is questioned is not how many websites repeated the report. It is how many independent ways the storm was recorded in the first place.

Radar from above, a report from the ground, a warning already in force, and an hourly analysis grid. Each is its own line of evidence, and the report shows you which is which.

The sources and method section of a report. Each numbered source names its record count and evidence kind, describes the dataset, states the exact area it was searched at, and prints the address of the federal source it came from.

Provenance

Every number says whether it was measured or estimated.

A hail stone measured on the ground and a size estimated from radar are two different kinds of fact. Merged into one number, the part a reader needs most is gone, so the report never merges them.

So every figure carries its own label: what kind of evidence it is, how far from the property it was taken, and a link to the government record it came from. Anyone can check any line at the source, which is the point: we compile and cite the record, we do not vet or correct it.

A report open in the browser: the property address at the head of the page, an aerial photograph and a street-level photograph of the house, the finding in one sentence, and the record count, storm days, largest measured hail and strongest wind as figures beneath it.

The document

A report you can hand over without having to explain it.

It opens with what the search found in one sentence, then gives the reader everything they need to check it: the findings, the map, every record, and the method behind each source.

The PDF is the same page, printed. There is no second version to drift out of step with the first. The address, report number and fingerprint sit on every page.

The storm map

Watch the storm cross your territory, one frame at a time.

A hail map of every record in the archive, drawn where it fell. Pick a storm day and play it back two minutes at a time: the hail surface estimated from radar, the ground reports as they came in, and the warnings that were in force at that moment.

The storm map with the storm player open over North Texas on 15 April 2026. Hail surfaces estimated from the radar mosaic are drawn as shaded bands running north-east across the state, measured ground reports sit on them as solid marks, the team's watched properties and territories are outlined around Dallas, and a transport control at the foot of the window steps the morning forward two minutes at a time.

It plays the storm back: The radar mosaic every two minutes, in your local time with the UTC stamp beside it. Ground reports appear as they were filed, so you can see which cell produced which measurement.
Estimates look like estimates: Hail swaths are estimated from the record and calibrated against what was measured on the ground. A swath is where hail probably fell. A solid mark is where someone measured it. The two never look alike on the map.
Your properties are on the map: Every property and territory your team watches is drawn over the storm, marked by its worst open storm day. Draw a shape or a radius on the map and it is watched from that moment on.
An empty map tells you why: If the archive has not been pulled yet for an area and a date range, the map says so instead of showing an empty county. Pull it right there and the records land on the map in front of you.

One storm day

The morning after a hailstorm, you already know which of your properties were under it.

A storm day is one date, one area, and everything the record holds for it. Zoom in to the ground your crews work and you see the swath, the measured stones and the warning polygon, each drawn differently so you can tell them apart.

Every watched address is marked by the largest hail measured near it, so you can see at a glance which addresses had hail measured close by and which had none. Click one and the report is a click away: one credit unlocks a new address, and an address you have already opened runs free.

Monitoring

Know the moment hail is recorded near a property you watch.

Save an address and we watch it from that moment. Draw a territory and every storm day inside it is logged against it. When something new lands in the record near a place you watch, you get a hail alert by email or webhook, and the report is one click away.

A territory page for North Dallas crews: a shape drawn over Plano, Frisco and Allen on satellite imagery with the record's marks inside it, then storm days, records and the last storm day as figures, and a severe thunderstorm warning listed apart from what actually fell.

Territories

Draw your service area. We log every storm day inside it.

A territory can be a shape you draw, a drive around an address, or a set of named places. It shows every storm day inside it for the last 90 days, every record observed or detected, and the warnings the Weather Service had in force over it.

Warnings sit on their own line, apart from the record. What the forecast office expected and what actually fell are two different facts, and a page that blurs them is just another county summary.

Activity

Every storm day near a property you watch, in one list, until someone deals with it.

Measured hail, its size, and how far from the property it was taken, one row per storm day per place. Mark it seen, dismiss it, or run the report straight from the row: one credit for a new address, free for one already unlocked, filed under the property. After a big night, run every open day at once.

Filter by property, by territory, or by what has already been reported on. It is the morning's work, in the order the storm made it.

A property page for a house in Plano: the address on satellite imagery with its watch radius and the storm days near it, a street-level photograph and an aerial photograph of the roof, and figures for storm days, records, reports and the last storm day.

Properties

Every property is a complete file, not a pin on a map.

Photos and aerial imagery of the roof, the storm days on record near the address, and every report ever run on it, all in one place. Import your address book from a CSV, tag it the way your office does, and every address is watched from the moment it is saved.

Alerts arrive by email and signed webhook, plus a post-storm digest each morning in your time zone. Send a storm day to your CRM without leaving the page.

The dashboard: an address field to run a report from, then a chart of severe weather records for every day of the last sixty across the United States with the busiest day picked out, and the count of storm days, the largest hail and the strongest gust on record in that time, each dated and placed.

The morning after

See the last sixty days of storms nationwide, and which ones landed near your properties.

The dashboard opens on the national picture: every day of the last sixty, sized by how much the record holds for it, with the busiest day, the largest hail and the strongest gust dated and placed. Below it, the storm days on record near the addresses you watch.

It is the screen you open after a night of storms. Which day it was, how big it got, and which of your addresses were near it, before the phone starts ringing.

Who it is for

Built for the people who get asked where that came from.

A repair scope, a claim file, a technical analysis and a case file are four different documents about the same storm. Each one asks the record a different question, and the report is built to answer all of them from the same cited lines.

At the property

Where the damage is found, and where the date is first written down.

01 Roofing and restoration contractors

Get the storm date right before it goes on the scope.

The roof gets inspected long after the storm. The homeowner remembers the loud one in spring, the date goes on the scope from memory, and the first thing the carrier does is check that date against its own weather data. A scope built on a date nobody can stand behind gets argued about for the rest of the claim.

Run the address first. The report tells you which storms are on record at the property, on what date, how big the hail was reported to be, how far from the roof the record places it, and which government record it came from. The date on the scope becomes a citation instead of a memory, and the conversation at the kitchen table starts from the record instead of from your word. Before the report, the free roof exposure check counts the hail days near an address since the year the roof went on. If you run a roofing, exterior or restoration company, the page for contractors walks the whole storm week from your side of the truck.

02 Building consultants

A county storm history is not this building's storm history.

An assessment has to separate what the weather did from what time and wear did, and that takes the building's own storm exposure, not the region's. What usually arrives is a county summary, or whatever was in the client's file. Hail somewhere in the county that year is context. 2.75-inch hail on record 0.8 miles from this roof is specific to it.

The report is a storm history for one point on the map, up to 30 years deep: every hail, wind, tornado and flood event on record at the address, each with its date, size, distance and source. The timeline under your assessment becomes specific to the structure, and every entry in it can be checked.

03 Public adjusters

The damage is on the roof. The argument is about the date.

You represent the policyholder, and the file moves on the date of loss. A denial rarely says there was no damage. It says the storm was earlier, or smaller, or somewhere else, and the burden of showing otherwise lands on your desk with a printout from a free weather site that names no source anyone can go and check.

Pair what was found on the structure with the dated record of what was measured near it. Every figure in the report carries its source, record identifier, observation time, distance and bearing from the property, and the kind of evidence it is. That qualification is what lets a line be checked by the other side rather than argued about, and it travels with the file wherever the claim goes.

04 Independent adjusters

Check the reported date of loss against a record nobody in the file wrote.

After a catastrophe the file arrives with a story already in it: the insured's recollection, the contractor's scope, a date everyone has agreed on. Your job is to confirm the loss, and at catastrophe volume there is no time to build the weather picture by hand for every address on the list.

The report checks the stated date against records anyone can confirm for themselves, and says what it searched. Sources that found nothing are listed with the area they covered, so a clean result means a complete search, not a gap. Whichever way the claim goes, the basis for it is in the file, and that basis is the federal record rather than anyone's memory.

05 Meteorologists and engineers

Raw observations you can build your own opinion on.

Your opinion will be examined, and the first question will be where each number came from and whether it is a measurement or a model. Some weather products blend radar estimates and ground reports into a single hail size. Once they are merged, nothing on the page tells you which part of the number anybody stood under.

Every observation arrives with its provenance intact: source, record number, observation time, distance, bearing and evidence kind. Measured and analyzed values are labelled separately on every page and in the export. The report does not interpret the record. That is your job, and the document is laid out so you can do it.

06 Attorneys

A document that shows where every figure came from.

The questions asked of a weather figure are the same ones every time: who compiled it, from what, by what method, and whether the copy in the binder is the copy that was issued. A screenshot of a radar loop answers none of them.

The method section names every source searched, what kind of evidence it is, the area it was actually searched at, and the federal address it came from. Measured and modelled values are never presented as the same kind of fact. Under the citations the same section prints what the document cannot settle. A fingerprint on every page lets anyone confirm the copy is the one we issued, and we take no position on any claim, which is exactly what makes the record usable by either side.

Method Example

NOAA Storm Events 3 records · Ground observation: NCEI Storm Events Database: the finalized, quality-controlled federal record of storm reports, damage, injuries, and narratives compiled by NWS offices. Searched: Within 25 miles of the location, plus county/zone-level records covering its county https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/severe-weather/storm-events-database

Limitations

Distances are measured to the coordinates each source published for a record. Reports made from the ground are commonly filed against a town or a landmark rather than the spot where the measurement was taken.

Fingerprint 7f3a2b9e…c19d Issued 14 Mar 2026

A report is a record of what the public federal and volunteer archives hold for one address over one period, as the bodies that publish them released it. We compile and cite that record. We do not verify, correct or interpret it, and a report is not an inspection, a meteorological or engineering opinion, or legal advice. We take no position on any claim.

Run your first report

Provenance

Every line can be checked. That is the whole point.

Anyone can print a weather summary. What makes a weather record useful in professional work is that every figure can be traced back to its publisher and checked by whoever is reading it.

Every figure names its source: Source, record number, observation time, distance and bearing from the property. The method section says what each source was asked and over what area, whether a radar cell, a warning polygon or a whole county, because those are not the same thing and a document that treats them as the same is not worth relying on.
Every report carries a fingerprint: A checksum of the records and findings, printed on the page and in the PDF. A copy that has been altered no longer matches the one we issued, and anyone holding it can tell.
Sources that found nothing are still listed: A report that searched every source and found two events says so, and names the ones that came back empty. A search is only complete if it says what it covered.
Nothing on record is a real answer: Some addresses have no severe weather on record for the period. That result is written out as plainly as any other, and it is often the one worth having before you scope any more work.

API

Plug the same reports into the software you already use.

Everything the app does, the weather data API does: run reports, keep your book of watched addresses in sync, draw territories from your own GeoJSON, and download the finished PDF through a signed link. Point a webhook at your endpoint and stop polling: a storm day arrives the hour it enters the record. Tokens belong to the team, not to a person, so an integration keeps working after whoever set it up moves on. Retries are idempotent, so a timeout can never bill you twice for the same report.

The search radius is how far out a report is allowed to look, not how precise it is. Every report is built for one address, and every record in it states its own distance and bearing from that address, so a stone measured half a mile away is never presented as the same evidence as one measured forty.

Questions

Questions people ask before they rely on a weather report.

How deep the record goes, what happens when it is empty, and what a report can and cannot tell you. The longer answers are in the guides, and the smaller questions are answered by the free tools, no account needed.

How do I get a weather report for an insurance claim?

Enter the property address. The report compiles every hail, wind, tornado, flood, fire and lightning event on record at that address from the public federal weather record, dates each one, states its distance from the property, and cites the record it came from. It is issued as a page you can read and a PDF you can attach to the claim file, with the method and the sources searched printed on the document itself.

Can I get a hail report by address?

Yes. Every report is compiled for one street address rather than a county or a ZIP code. Hail arrives from ground reports relayed by Weather Service offices, the finalized storm record, radar detection and the warnings that were in force, each with its reported size where one was taken and its distance and bearing from the property. The same report carries the wind, tornado and flood record for the address, so a hail report by address and a wind report by address are the same document.

What is a date of loss weather report?

A report that tests a stated date of loss against the record, or finds the date when nobody is sure of it. It lists every storm on record at the address in the period, so the day the damage occurred can be read off the record rather than recalled. Where the stated date does not match anything on record, the report says so, which is as useful to a claim as a match.

How far back does the historical weather record go?

The finalized federal storm record runs from 1996, and that is the deepest a report reaches. It is not equally deep throughout. Reporting density, radar coverage and the detail kept against each entry all thin as the years go back, and hourly wind detail coarsens faster than storm reports do, so a quiet stretch early in a long window may describe who was observing rather than what the weather did. Every report states the period it covered and says this on the document. Your plan sets how much of the depth a report may use.

Who uses a property weather report?

Contractors, public adjusters, independent adjusters, attorneys, meteorologists, engineers and building consultants. The common thread is a professional opinion that has to be documented: what the weather did at a specific address, on a specific date, and where that is written down. Property owners order them too, though most of our volume comes from licensed practitioners working a file.

Do you interpret the data or offer an opinion?

No. We compile and document the record; the professional opinion is yours. Every observation arrives with its source, record identifier, observation time, distance, bearing and evidence kind intact, which is what an analysis needs to rest on. We do not characterize damage, assign causation or take a position on a claim.

What if there is nothing on record for the address?

You get a report that says so, listing every source searched and the period covered. That is a substantive result rather than a failed one. It settles the question when a loss is attributed to a storm that did not reach the property, and it is worth having before any further work is scoped.

Will an insurance carrier accept a weather report from a third party?

No one can promise how a particular reviewer, carrier or court will treat any document, and we will not pretend otherwise. What we can do is make every figure verifiable: each record names its source and identifier, and the method section states what was searched and over what area. Most disputes are not about whether the weather happened. They are about whether it can be shown.

Does a report include every storm that hit the property?

It includes every event the sources we searched hold for that address over that period, and it names those sources and the area each was searched at. That is not the same as every storm that occurred. Severe weather is only on the record if something or someone caught it: a storm can cross ground nobody reported from, an instrument can miss a gust between readings, and a report can be filed weeks later or revised years later. Radar, warnings and gridded analysis cover ground no witness stood on, which is why every report searches those too, but no archive holds everything and we do not claim otherwise. A report says what it searched so a reader can see the shape of what it could and could not see.

How accurate is the location of a hail or wind report?

A distance is measured to the coordinate the source filed, and that coordinate belongs to the source rather than to us. Reports made from the ground are commonly logged against a town, a landmark or a stated offset from one rather than the spot where the measurement was taken, and the gap between the two can run to several miles. Radar detections and warning polygons are instrument-located and do not carry that offset. The report states this, and it is the reason a day carried by several kinds of evidence is worth more than a single reported point.

Is the wind speed measured at my property?

Almost never, and the report says so. Measured wind comes from official stations, which may be some miles off, and the distance is printed beside it. Anything worked onto a grid is labelled analyzed rather than measured, because it describes an area the address sits in rather than the address itself. That distinction is what makes these reports usable in technical work, and we hold to it.

How long does a weather report take?

Usually a few minutes. An address nobody has asked about before takes longer, because we retrieve the archive rather than serving something stale. There is no need to sit and watch it either. Once the report is ready, the PDF is rendered in under a minute. Run a batch, carry on with the day, and they are in your list when you come back.

Which areas does a weather report by address cover?

The United States, including territories covered by the National Weather Service. Coverage is only as good as the underlying federal record, which is denser in populated areas, since a hail report requires somebody to have reported it. Radar, warnings and gridded analysis do not depend on a witness, which is part of why every report searches all of them.

One address, every source

Run a weather report on any address.

Your first reports are free. If there is nothing on record at that address, the report says so just as plainly, which is worth knowing before you scope any more work.
