The morning after hail, know which streets to knock.

StormRoute shows where hail and wind fell, never whether a roof is damaged — that still takes your inspection. Lists are built automatically each morning, once NOAA's overnight radar window closes, with no hand-editing. Each street shows whether an NWS hail report was logged within 3 miles — your ground check. A morning with nothing to rank gets report points or a no-storm note, never a guessed list (Terms §2.1).

To keep every market fair. Each ZIP counts by how often hail has hit it over the last 7 years, so a ZIP that gets hail every spring counts for more than a quiet one. Exclusives can never add up to more than a quarter of a market's total (every market can still have one Territory Exclusive). Nobody can lock up all the hail-heavy ZIPs, at least three quarters of the market's hail stays open to every member, and everyone always sees the full hail map.

We lay the radar hail swath over mapped homes. Hail size counts most (the score squares it), then how many homes line the street, plus a boost when an NWS hail report of 1″+ was logged within 3 miles. Each street's hail is the biggest radar estimate within ¾ mile of it, so a street with slightly smaller hail and many more homes can outrank a near-empty one. On wind mornings the email lists where 58 mph+ wind was reported.

NOAA's radar hail estimate (about 1 km resolution), National Weather Service storm reports, and building footprints from OpenStreetMap — so home counts are approximate. A "home" is any mapped building within about 400 feet of the midpoint of a mapped segment of that street name inside the storm area (same-name streets in the storm area are combined, even miles apart), so detached garages and shops count too; read it as the street's size, not a door count. Hail sizes are radar estimates, which can run larger or smaller than the stones on the ground; each street shows whether an NWS hail report of 1″+ was logged within 3 miles (your ground check) or it's radar only. A storm's biggest hail sometimes falls on fields or shopping centers, so the #1 street is the best mix of big hail and many homes, not the storm's biggest hail.

Long streets get long counts. A street's home count is every mapped building within about 400 feet of the midpoint of each mapped segment, along the whole stretch that runs through the storm area — not only the part under the biggest hail. The hail size beside it is the biggest radar hail within ¾ mile of the street. On a long avenue, check the storm's hail map in the app for where the core crossed before you send the whole crew down it.

There's no radar product for wind, so wind comes only from National Weather Service reports. On wind mornings your email lists the NWS wind reports of 58 mph+ (measured or estimated) in your service area. Damage-only and hurricane reports appear in the free past-storm samples, which also show the streets near them. Wind coverage is only as dense as the reports the NWS receives.

Yes, this fall more than ever. Opening season: join Annual or Territory Exclusive by February 28, 2027 and your paid year starts March 1, 2027, so every storm list until then is included at no extra charge, and your market's last 2 years of storms (3D view, street map and ranked lists) open the day you join. Annual runs 12 months from March 1, 2027 for opening-season members, and from the day you pay after that. If your market gets fewer storm mornings in that year than its Storm Guarantee number (10, 7 or 5, set from its own storm history), your next 12 months are free on renewal. Only want storm season? Month-to-month lets you join for just those months, but five of them cost $5,250 with setup, more than a full Annual year.

The next-morning list covers hail and wind. Tornado paths are surveyed by the National Weather Service in the days after, so tornado streets go into your storm archive: the streets inside the surveyed path, or within a quarter mile of it, ranked together with that storm's hail and wind streets (homes on the street times storm strength, so an EF3 path counts more than an EF0). Archive storms open three weeks after the storm. Where no survey was posted, the archive shows streets within about a mile of the NWS tornado report and says so. Each street is tagged with its evidence, and you can filter to hail, wind or tornado streets. Your crews still inspect every roof.

Usually by 8:30 AM Central (9:30 Eastern, 7:30 Mountain, 6:30 Pacific), and always by 10 AM Central the morning after a storm. NOAA's official overnight hail map covers the full storm night and posts a few minutes after 7 AM Central (6 AM in winter); our check starts at 7:20, ranks your streets, runs two independent checks and sends. If NOAA's data is late or missing, we email you to say so instead of guessing.

Not yet. The list arrives by email, and it works alongside whatever alert or canvassing tool you already use: your tool says hail fell, StormRoute says which streets to start on.

The ZIP codes you tap on your market's map at setup, where your crews actually work. Change them any time in your dashboard's Area tab (Exclusive ZIPs stay put); changes start with the next day's check. The 7-year storm map always covers the whole market.

Yes. Everyone in your company signs in to the dashboard with your company's member code, and the morning list goes to up to 10 email addresses (we approve ones added after setup, for safety). The code and the lists stay inside your company.
