Frequently asked questions

Did it hail in Morgan County, Colorado on August 11, 1991?+

On August 11, 1991, NOAA's Storm Events Database recorded hail in the 2.5″+ size class in Morgan County, Colorado, across 1 hail event. These are records of hail exposure, not of damage: size is a class, not a measurement, and a hail record near a property is not a finding that the property was damaged.

What was the largest hail size on August 11, 1991 in Morgan County?+

NOAA's Storm Events Database recorded a peak hail size of 4" during the August 11, 1991 storm in Morgan County, Colorado. Hail at 4" is large enough that a professional roof inspection is the normal next step for roofs in the storm path. Only a licensed roof inspection can determine whether a specific roof was damaged; coverage depends on the policy and carrier.

How many hail events were recorded during this storm?+

1 individual hail observations were recorded in Morgan County on August 11, 1991, between approximately 7:13 PM MDT and 7:13 PM MDT. Each NOAA record represents either a ground-verified observation by a National Weather Service spotter or a radar-derived measurement.

Can I file an insurance claim for hail damage from this storm?+

Many standard homeowner's policies include hail under a "wind and hail" peril. Claim deadlines and coverage rules vary by carrier and policy — confirm yours with your insurer or, in Colorado, the Colorado Division of Insurance (doi.colorado.gov). August 11, 1991 is the date NOAA recorded hail in Morgan County — a record of exposure an adjuster can check against your address, not a finding that any property was damaged. If your address was in the storm path, a professional roof inspection is the standard first step.

How accurate is NOAA's hail size measurement?+

NOAA combines ground-verified reports (hail reported by trained spotters, NWS offices, law enforcement and others) with NEXRAD radar-derived size estimates. Ground reports are the stronger evidence of what actually fell. Radar estimates are a class rather than a measurement: MESH is tuned so that roughly 75% of measured hail comes in at or below the estimate — a bias, not a symmetric error bar. Each event in NOAA's Storm Events Database has a unique event ID that adjusters can independently verify.
