Hail Reports in Moore, Oklahoma — Last 90 Days

Hail is a recurring, budgetable risk in Moore — roughly 9 hail-producing storms in a typical year. The 90-day log below shows where the most recent activity landed relative to town, so you can judge whether your street was in a hail path.

Moore's Storm-Climate Context

Moore sits squarely in Tornado Alley, giving it one of the most severe wind-uplift roofing environments in the United States. On May 20, 2013, an EF5 tornado struck the city with estimated wind speeds of 200-210 mph and a path 1.3 miles wide and 17 miles long, killing 24 people including 10 children at two elementary schools. Earlier, on May 3, 1999, an F5 tornado with record-setting winds devastated the same corridor. Hail accompanies many supercell events, stripping granules from asphalt shingles and cracking tile. The combination of tornado-force uplift, repeated hail impact, and Oklahoma's broad temperature swings demands impact-rated roofing systems and frequent post-storm inspections.

Moore, with 62,768 residents, is a suburb of Oklahoma City that has been rebuilt multiple times following catastrophic tornado strikes. Each major event generates a compressed burst of full-roof replacements across thousands of homes within a tight geographic area, creating cyclical high-demand periods for contractors. The city's predominantly single-family residential stock and proximity to Oklahoma City's contractor labor pool make it a well-served but consistently active roofing market between storm events.

How Severe Was It? The NWS Yardstick, Applied to Moore's Reports

The National Weather Service calls hail severe at 1″ (quarter size) and significant at 2″ (hen-egg size). Scoring the 2 Moore-area reports (filed in Canadian, Cleveland Counties) against that scale: 2 of them met the severe 1″+ criterion — the size at which asphalt shingles start taking granule loss and bruising that shows up as leaks a season later. Damage at these sizes is rarely visible from the ground but is typically covered by homeowners insurance when documented promptly.

What to Do If Your Roof Was in the Hail Path

1. Stay off the roof and read your yard instead. Granule piles at the downspouts, dings in gutters and window screens, shredded leaves — after the July 4, 2026 activity near Moore, those ground-level proxies tell you whether the roof took a hit.
2. Build the paper trail before anyone touches anything. Dated photos of the damage, a hailstone next to a coin if one is still around, and this NOAA log tying the loss to a specific Moore storm day are what the adjuster will ask for.
3. Expect door-knockers — and slow down. In a hail market like Moore, out-of-town crews canvass neighborhoods within days of an event. Do not sign a contract or an Assignment of Benefits on the doorstep; get a written inspection scope from a roofer you chose first.
4. File on your policy's clock, not the salesman's. Sudden storm damage is generally covered for Oklahoma homeowners, and your filing window comes from the policy itself. File promptly while the dates above are fresh, but on your terms.
5. Have your contractor at the adjuster meeting. A written scope keeps the estimate honest. Step-by-step: the roof insurance claim guide.

Hail History in Moore — the 10-Year Picture

The county behind Moore has logged 251 hail events over the last decade — a pace of roughly 25 per year — with the most severe stone measured at 3.41″.
