Storm record · Martin County
Hail is the recurring roof threat in Martin County
What the public record says about roofs in Oak City and the rest of Martin County
Of the 60 roof-relevant storm events NOAA logged in Martin County between 2016 and 2026, 17 were hail. 16 of those dropped stones an inch across or larger, which is roughly the size at which hail stops bouncing off an asphalt roof and starts bruising it. The largest on record fell on May 31, 2019: Baseball, measured at 2.00 in. A further 1 hail event came in under an inch.
Hail damage is the kind you cannot see from the driveway. A stone that size fractures the asphalt mat beneath the surface and knocks the protective granules loose; the shingle keeps its shape and keeps shedding water for a while afterwards, so a hail-struck roof usually looks fine from the ground and fails early instead. The things a homeowner can actually check are granule piles at the bottom of the downspout, and dents in the soft metal on the roof — vent caps, valley flashing, gutter aprons. Those dents matter because soft metal takes an impression at about the same stone size that damages a shingle, so they are the closest thing to a physical record of what hit the house.
The $10,000 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Martin County from these storms, 2016–2026 — a county-wide reporting total. It is not the cost of a roof, and it is not an amount paid to any property owner.

Oak City Roofing Challenges & Solutions
Roofing in Oak City presents unique coastal challenges that require specialized expertise. Salt air corrosion is a constant threat to metal components, flashing, and fasteners. High humidity levels accelerate algae and moss growth on shingles, while frequent coastal storms bring heavy rains and high winds that can exceed 100 mph. Hurricane season demands impact-resistant materials and enhanced anchoring systems. Carolina Trophy Roofs uses marine-grade materials and coastal-approved installation techniques developed specifically for Martin County's demanding environment.
