Hail History in Shreveport — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
NOAA Storm Events data shows 90 hail events in Shreveport's county over the last 10 years, with hail up to 3.00″ (most recent on record: 2024-05-22). Stones that size punch through shingles rather than bruise them. At 90 events in a decade, Shreveport 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. Check your own address on the hail risk lookup.
Hail Events by Year in Shreveport's County (NOAA)
| Year | Recorded hail events | Largest hail that year |
|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 16 | 2.00″ |
| 2023 | 13 | 3.00″ |
| 2021 | 7 | 1.25″ |

| 2018 | 12 | 1.75″ |

Put in Louisiana context: Shreveport's county logged 2.2× the hail-event count of the median Louisiana county we track (40 events over the same 10 years) — one of the more hail-exposed roofing markets in the state, which shows up in insurer wind/hail deductibles and in how often local roofs are replaced before end-of-life.
