About this data
Each count is a hail report: someone observed hail of a certain size at a place and time and it was logged by the National Weather Service. One storm can produce many reports, and the number of reports depends partly on how many people are out reporting. This page is an independent summary; for official records, see the Storm Prediction Center.
