How to read these figures
Useful context, without overstating the data.
Event reports, home-impact estimates, and individual hail-size observations measure different things. A large reported hailstone is not an average hailstone. A homes-impacted estimate is not a count of auto claims. The source and date are included with every figure so readers can use the right number for the right question.
For a vehicle damaged in a storm, the next step is an in-person assessment. Hail can be hard to see across the roof, hood, trunk, and upper panels until the vehicle is inspected under proper lighting.
