Why it matters

Polk County has logged 162 hail events since 2016, 34 of them at 1.75″ (golf-ball) or larger — the threshold that routinely qualifies a roof for an insurance claim. Add 202 severe thunderstorm-wind events topping out at 74 mph, and most homes in the county have a documented weather event inside the typical carrier filing window. Curbsight ties each event to the property ZIPs it hit, so a damaged roof surfaces with the storm date already attached — no manual NOAA cross-referencing.
