We check public National Weather Service records for hail and damaging wind reported near any South Carolina address, and tell you exactly what was reported and how far away.
Pick your address from the list so we get the right spot. A street name on its own isn't enough to place a house on the map — we need the city or ZIP code too.
We serve the Midlands, Lowcountry, and Upstate.
We'll never sell your information. Free report, no obligation.
What this report is. A record of hail and wind reported to the National Weather Service near your address, plus hail detected by weather radar. Every entry shows how far the report was from your address so you can judge how relevant it is.
What it is not. It is not an inspection, and it is not a finding that your home is damaged. Storm reports are single observations, not maps of where hail fell — hail lands in narrow, patchy swaths, so one street can be hit hard while the next is untouched. A report near your address means it's worth having someone look at your roof. It does not mean your roof is damaged, and nobody can tell you it is without getting up there.
What we filter out. Hail under three-quarters of an inch isn't listed, and measured wind gusts below 50 mph aren't either — below those points there's very little for anyone to look at. But reports of wind damage are always listed even though they carry no speed: those come from a person who saw something break, with no instrument involved. A missing number there means nobody measured it, not that the wind was mild.
Two kinds of hail entry. A spotter size was measured by a person after the stones landed. A radar size is estimated by weather radar from inside the storm, and NOAA notes these estimates tend to run large. Radar earns its place by covering areas where nobody was present to file a report, not by being the more precise of the two.
Gaps worth knowing about. Weather radar reliably detects hail only from 2013 onward. Storm reports depend on a person being present to file one, so a storm over open land may never be recorded at all. An empty report means nothing was reported near you — not that no weather occurred.
Data: NOAA Severe Weather Data Inventory (radar hail); Iowa State University Environmental Mesonet archive of National Weather Service local storm reports; station wind observations by Visual Crossing Weather; address lookup by Geocodio, LocationIQ and the U.S. Census Bureau.
