Roofing Storm Reports

Roofs are replaced by more than hail. Hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms, wildfires, flooding, and extreme wind all cause widespread roofing damage — across every continent. ProvenQuote tracks storm activity globally because the same replacement need exists wherever severe weather hits residential and commercial structures.

Extreme ActivityHigh ActivityModerate-High ActivityModerate Activity
DFW / TX PanhandleUnited States
Activity: Extreme

Hail. Peak March–June. Largest average hail size of any US metro. $400M+ in annual Collin County claims alone.

Denver Front RangeUnited States
Activity: Extreme

Hail. Peak May–August. I-70 corridor sees frequent large supercell events. Class 4 IR standard for new construction.

Gulf CoastUnited States
Activity: Extreme

Hurricanes + hail. Peak June–November. Cat 3+ landfalls trigger mass replacement events across TX, LA, MS, AL, FL.

Florida PeninsulaUnited States
Activity: High

Hurricanes + tropical storms. One of the highest homeowner insurance loss markets in the world. Year-round tropical risk.

Tornado AlleyUnited States
Activity: High

Tornadoes + large hail. KS, OK, NE, IA corridor. Tornadoes cause catastrophic roof loss — total replacements common.

Mid-Missouri / I-70United States
Activity: Moderate-High

Hail + wind. St. Louis to Kansas City corridor. Active spring and early summer. Insurance premiums rising YoY.

Carolinas / Mid-AtlanticUnited States
Activity: Moderate-High

Hurricanes (Atlantic season) + ice storms in winter. NC and SC see multiple named storm landfalls per decade.

Pacific NorthwestUnited States
Activity: Moderate

Wind + moss / moisture damage. Sustained rain accelerates roof degradation faster than most US markets.

Southeast QueenslandAustralia
Activity: Extreme

Hail. Brisbane corridor produces the largest recorded hailstones in the Southern Hemisphere. Oct–Mar season.

Northern Territory / QLD CoastAustralia
Activity: High

Tropical cyclones. Category 4–5 cyclones drive mass roof replacement across Cairns, Darwin, Townsville.

Prairie ProvincesCanada

Hail + ice storms. Alberta and Saskatchewan are among the most hail-active zones in North America.

Ontario / QuebecCanada
Activity: Moderate-High

Ice storms. The 1998 Ice Storm remains the most costly insurance event in Canadian history — ice load collapses roofs.

Johannesburg MetroSouth Africa
Activity: High

Hail. Highveld region produces frequent large-hail events Oct–Feb. Gauteng province sees billions in annual storm damage.

UK & Northern EuropeEurope
Activity: Moderate

Wind + sustained rain. Atlantic windstorms cause widespread roof tile and flat-roof membrane damage each winter.
