The significant hail, damaging-wind, and tornado dates since 2020, cross-referenced from two official records — the NOAA Storm Events Database and NWS Local Storm Reports — updated weekly, with the newest preliminary reports included before NOAA finalizes them. Pick your county, then enter your address to see the events logged near your property. Homeowners use it to verify a date of loss. Contractors use it to check a storm history before an inspection. Free either way.

How to use the storm record
- Find the event over your property. Open your county, scan the year of your loss, and match the date and nearest named place.
- Save the official record. Every row links to its NOAA entry — print it to PDF. That document, not anyone's opinion, is the storm date.
- Date your damage evidence to it. Photos, contractor findings, and neighbor claims dated after that event build the causation story an insurer can't wave off.
- Mind the clock. Read the policy's suit clause early. White v. State Farm enforced the one-year clause for the theft claim before it but did not decide tolling, waiver, or estoppel. Act 635 changes the minimum prospectively only for qualifying first-party property policies issued, delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed on or after July 1, 2027; it does not erase an earlier policy deadline today. Have counsel preserve the earliest plausible deadline.
Storm-date questions
How do I find the exact date a storm hit my area?
Pick your county above — the significant hail, wind, and tornado events on the federal record since 2020 are listed with their dates, sizes, locations, and links to the official NOAA entries. For storms in the last few weeks, check the SPC same-day reports linked on each county page, because NOAA publishes finalized events on a 60–120 day lag.
Why do storm dates matter for an insurance claim?
The date of loss determines which policy applies, starts the clock on deadlines, and is one of the first things an insurer challenges. Georgia policies outside Act 635's July 1, 2027 applicability boundary may still have a suit-limitation clause as short as one year. An officially documented storm date is evidence; a guess is not.
Is this data official?
Yes — two federal records. The tables are extracted from the NOAA Storm Events Database and cross-referenced against NWS Local Storm Reports; events documented in both carry a two-source verification badge. Every finalized row links to its NOAA entry, the ledgers refresh weekly, and each page shows its refresh date.
Can contractors use these storm dates?
Yes — the ledgers are free to use and cite. One caution for Georgia roofers: state law bars contractors from adjusting or negotiating insurance claims for customers, so when a claim goes sideways, the compliant move is a referral to a licensed public adjuster.
Found your storm — now what happened to your claim? If that storm damaged your property and the insurer denied, delayed, or lowballed the claim, a free case review by a licensed public adjuster tells you exactly where you stand.
