Hail Causing Damage to Homes in Ingleside?

9/9/2022 (Permalink)

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!
