What that means for roofs and exteriors

Second and third replacement cycles dominate. This is the stock where prior storm damage most often went unclaimed, because the owner never connected a hailstorm to a roof that looked fine from the ground.

Storm exposure

Oklahoma ranks second nationally for hail behind Texas. Across the three years of NOAA Storm Events data behind our hail tool there were 1,632 recorded Oklahoma hail events. The largest stone in that record was 4.50 inches, in Ellis County on 18 May 2025, and the worst single day was 19 May 2025 with 107 reports statewide.
