Wake County's record is dominated by catastrophic events
What the public record says about roofs in Wake Forest and the rest of Wake County
Across 2016 to 2026 NOAA logged 457 roof-relevant storm events in Wake County and $113,197,000 in reported property damage — a total that only a handful of severe events can produce. 101 of the county's events are flagged significant in the source data. The split behind the total is 327 thunderstorm wind, 125 hail and 5 tornadoes.
A county-level damage figure is not a guide to what happened at any single address. It is the sum of everything reported across every community in the county, and most of it belongs to a small number of dates. What it does tell a homeowner here is that Wake County has been through storms severe enough to change roofs street by street, and that any roof installed before those dates has been tested by them. The dated entries below are the ones the source singles out.
The $113,197,000 figure is NOAA's reported property damage for the whole of Wake 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.
Individual events in the Wake County file

* 2026 is a partial year — the record runs to the most recent update of the source, not to the end of the year, so its bar is not comparable with the others. A year showing zero had no recorded hail, tornado or thunderstorm-wind event in this county.
