Disaster-history hazard lens
Hail events reported independently of other storm hazards. Compare official county histories below while keeping FEMA administrative declarations separate from NOAA observed-event reports.
Data updated Aug 21, 2026
These counts do not measure current danger, probability, severity, loss, or personal exposure. A higher rank means only that a county has more records within the same official source and exact coverage window. FEMA and NOAA counts are never added together.
Administrative records

Observed-event reports
Distinct NOAA Storm Events records explicitly coded to a county and mapped to this hazard category. Forecast-zone and marine-zone records are excluded from county totals.
