How it works
The National Weather Service notes that large hail and strong thunderstorm winds can damage property.
That establishes a hazard. It does not establish what happened at your address.
Two different records
A storm record describes an event and where it was reported. A property inspection documents actual findings. They answer different questions.
Your decision
Ask for dated photos and an explanation of findings. Keep insurance decisions tied to your policy and your insurer's review. Stay off the roof and let a qualified professional assess it.
Talk it through
