Common questions
How are these ranked?
By the number of days radar detected hail at golf-ball size (1.75 in) or larger, then by total hail days. It is a measure of exposure, not of damage — damage depends on what the hail landed on.

We publish pages only where we have the data pre-computed, because a page with real numbers beats fifty pages of template text. Tell us your ZIP through the alerts form and we will queue it.
Can I download the data?
Yes. Every metro page links its own JSON file, and the whole index is at /data/index.json. The underlying radar data is public domain from NOAA; our aggregation is free to reuse with a link back.
