Weather Reports

Why Verified Meteorological Data Is the Foundation of Every Report

A forensic hail damage assessment is only as credible as the storm data behind it. For every report we produce, we reference primary meteorological sources including NOAA storm records, National Weather Service data, radar archives, and local storm event databases to establish an accurate, verifiable record of storm history, hail size, and wind conditions specific to your property. Primary government and scientific sources are objective, publicly accessible, and built to withstand scrutiny from insurers, opposing engineers, and courts. They also allow us to identify early when weather data does not support a hail claim, so we can let you know before unnecessary costs are incurred.

We rely on HailStrike for three key reasons

Confirming Whether a Significant Weather Event Occurred

  • Before any field work begins, we pull meteorological records specific to your property’s location and date of loss. If the data confirms a qualifying storm event, we proceed with the full forensic inspection. If it does not, we tell you upfront.
  • If data confirms minimal or nonexistent hail events, we verify this by cross-referencing additional credible weather data. Confirming the absence of significant hail events allows us to transparently inform our clients, ultimately saving them from unnecessary engineering costs.

Hail Size and Wind Analysis

  • Hail Size Analysis:
    HailStrike provides site-specific maximum hail size reports, accurately capturing the exact size of hail that impacted a specific location, using their patented technology. This precision is crucial in assessing potential structural damage.
  • Wind Assessment:
    Wind speeds accompanying hail storms can significantly affect structural integrity. HailStrike’s reports include detailed wind data, allowing us to precisely determine the combined effects of wind and hail, crucial for accurate damage assessment.

Clear, Litigation-Ready Documentation

  • Using HailStrike’s precise, highly detailed data, Structuralengineers.com compiles thorough yet easily comprehensible engineering reports specifically designed for clarity in litigation scenarios.
  • Our reports clearly document key metrics, including hail size, storm intensity, and wind speeds, presented in a format readily understandable to legal professionals, insurance adjusters, and property owners.
