Radar-confirmed hail footprints, opened over Hand County. Drag to follow a storm across county lines; the map is the whole country. A county with no footprint drawn has no radar-confirmed swath on record yet, and its 61 NOAA events still stand.
This page holds every NOAA-documented hail and severe wind event in Hand County, South Dakota from 2016 to 2025. Hand County has logged 61 hail events in that time, 17 of them at 1.75″ (golf-ball) or larger, the size that routinely qualifies a roof for an insurance claim. Add 61 severe thunderstorm-wind events topping out at 87 mph, and most homes in the county have a documented weather event inside the typical carrier filing window. In Curbsight, a hail-hit roof shows up with its storm date already on the card, so nobody cross-references storm records by hand.
