Frequently asked questions

What was the largest hail size on June 25, 2014 in Larimer County?+

NOAA's Storm Events Database recorded a peak hail size of 2.5" during the June 25, 2014 storm in Larimer County, Colorado. Hail of this size (2.5") routinely causes total roof replacement, broken windshields, and structural damage. Larimer County properties exposed to this storm should have received insurance-eligible damage.

How many hail events were recorded during this storm?+

21 individual hail observations were recorded in Larimer County on June 25, 2014, between approximately 8:15 PM MDT and 11:20 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?+

Most homeowner's insurance policies in Colorado cover hail damage under the "wind and hail" peril. Standard policies require claims to be filed within 1-2 years of the date of loss, though this varies by carrier. The June 25, 2014 date is the NOAA-recorded date of loss for properties in Larimer County. If your roof shows damage and your address was in the storm path, scheduling a free professional inspection is the standard first step.

How accurate is NOAA's hail size measurement?+

NOAA combines ground-verified reports (physically observed and measured hailstones reported by trained spotters, NWS offices, or law enforcement) with NEXRAD radar-derived size estimates. Ground reports are the gold standard. Radar estimates carry approximately a ±0.25 inch margin compared to ground measurements. Each event in NOAA's Storm Events Database has a unique event ID that adjusters can independently verify.
