Storm record · Lee County
In Lee County the roof threat is wind, not hail
What the public record says about roofs in Sanford and the rest of Lee County
56 of the 65 roof-relevant events NOAA recorded in Lee County between 2016 and 2026 were thunderstorm wind. Hail accounts for 8. The strongest gust in the file is 50 kt, measured on Feb 24, 2016. For completeness, the largest hail the county has on record is Golf Ball at 1.75 in, on Mar 27, 2021 — a single day, not a pattern.
Wind does not damage a roof the way hail does, and it does not damage the same parts of it. Wind works on the edges. Uplift concentrates along the eaves, the rake edges and the ridge, where a shingle's sealant strip is the only thing holding the tab down; once one tab breaks its seal the course above loses its anchor and the failure runs along the line. That is why wind damage tends to appear as a clean run of lifted or missing tabs at a perimeter rather than as scattered marks across the middle of a slope. On a roof in this county the places worth looking at first are the ridge caps, the first two courses above the gutter, the rake edge on the side the weather comes from, and the metal flashing where the roof meets a wall or a chimney.
The $2,400,500 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Lee 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.
