Hail History in Waco — and What It Means for Your Roof Budget
County-level NOAA Storm Events archives record 100 hail events near Waco over the past decade — hail reaching 4.50″ at its peak (archive last updated 2024-12-28). Stones that size tear through shingles rather than just bruise them. With 100 events in ten years, Waco homeowners are effectively on an insurance-replacement cycle: any bid should include Class 4 impact-resistant shingles as a line item (10–20% more upfront, often recovered through the insurer premium discount that hail counties typically unlock). Know your wind/hail deductible before the next storm hits, not the day after. Verify your own address risk at hail risk lookup.
