Storm record · Wilson County
Hail is the recurring roof threat in Wilson County
What the public record says about roofs in Sims and the rest of Wilson County
Of the 95 roof-relevant storm events NOAA logged in Wilson County between 2016 and 2026, 16 were hail. 14 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 3, 2016: Baseball, measured at 2.00 in. A further 2 hail events 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 $2,881,000 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Wilson 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.
