Storm Damage Checker
See the severe weather your roof has faced in the last 6 months.
Weather data updates on about a one-week delay — a storm from the last few days may not appear yet.
How It Works
What the Storm Damage Checker looks at, and what the result means
The Storm Damage Checker answers one question: how much severe wind has your roof faced recently? Enter an address and the tool locates it, then pulls the last six months of daily peak wind gusts for that location from a public weather archive. It counts the days with gusts over 50 miles per hour, shows the strongest gust and the date it hit, and lists the individual high-wind days so you can match them to storms you remember.
Those days are sorted into a risk tier. Low means no more than one high-wind day in the window; Moderate is two or three; High is four or five; Critical is six or more. The tier is a way of reading the weather history at a glance, not a verdict on your roof. A roof in good condition with sound flashing can come through a Critical season untouched, and a roof with a lifted shingle can leak after one bad afternoon.
Two limits are worth knowing. The archive updates on roughly a one-week delay, so the window ends about seven days before today and a storm from the last few days will not appear yet. And the data is wind only — the sources the tool uses do not record hail, so a hail event will not show up here. Wind history is one indicator of possible roof damage; only an on-site inspection can confirm whether there is any. If the result gives you a reason to look, the inspection is free.

Good to Know
Storm Damage Checker FAQ
What counts as a high-wind day?
A day on which the recorded peak gust for your location exceeded 50 miles per hour. That is the speed at which loose or aging shingles, flashing, and gutters start to fail, which is why the tool uses it as its threshold.
Why is a storm from last week not showing up?
The weather archive the tool reads updates on about a one-week delay, so the six-month window ends roughly seven days before today. Check back in a week or so and the recent storm will be included.
Does the checker detect hail?
No. The data sources record wind only, so hail is not part of the result. If you had hail at your home, that is worth an inspection regardless of what the checker shows.
Does a High or Critical result mean my roof is damaged?
No. It means your roof was exposed to repeated severe wind, which makes an inspection a sensible precaution. Only an on-site inspection can tell whether there is actual damage, and that inspection is free.
