What that means for roofs and exteriors

Mostly first-cycle roofs, where hail is the only realistic reason for replacement. It is also the stock where builder-grade shingle went on across whole streets at once, so neighbors tend to need work at the same time.

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.
