NOAA Storm Events data shows 15 hail events in Jefferson City's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 3.00″ (most recent on record: 2024-05-08). Stones that size punch through shingles rather than bruise them. At 15 events in a decade, Jefferson City roofs live on an insurance cycle: quotes here should price impact-resistant Class 4 shingles (10–20% more upfront, often offset by an insurer premium discount) and you should know your wind/hail deductible before the next storm, not after.
