Hail Causing Damage to Homes in Ingleside?

9/9/2022 (Permalink)

A person holds a large hailstone. We are leaders in storm damage restoration services in Lake County.

Our local team in Northwest Lake County responds to storm damage emergencies 24-hours a day in Ingleside. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), hailstones are classified by comparing them to a known object. Usually, hailstorms drop a mix of different sizes of hailstones, and only the huge ones pose any serious risk to people when caught out in a storm.

Here are some hailstone measurements from the NOAA:

  • Pea = 1/4 inch diameter
  • Mothball = 1/2 inch diameter
  • Penny = 3/4 inch diameter
  • Nickel = 7/8 inch
  • Quarter = 1 inch — hail quarter size or larger is considered severe
  • Ping-Pong Ball = 1 1/2 inch
  • Golf Ball = 1 3/4 inches
  • Tennis Ball = 2 1/2 inches
  • Baseball = 2 3/4 inches
  • Teacup = 3 inches
  • Softball = 4 inches
  • Grapefruit = 4 1/2 inches

After any storm damage event involving water, safety should be your primary concern. Ask yourself:

  • Is it safe to stay in the house?
  • Electrical and “slip and fall” hazards are some of the most prevalent concerns
  • Only do activities that are safe for you to perform
  • Wet materials can be VERY heavy. Be careful!
