Track Storm Damage Effortlessly
A storm hits Dallas, TX, but affects only a portion of the northern
suburbs. John’s Roofing Company hears about the storm on the news
the next day, and tells his marketing department to call the local printer
and send postcards to the north side of Dallas. There are 30 zip codes
in the area with 75,000 homes, leading to a cost of $24,940.
Jimmy’s Roofing company is a Hail-NOW subscriber, so he knows about
the hail 15 minutes after the event. He calls AnythingWeather and
orders a HailSWATH report for the storm. After reviewing his
HailSWATH report on Google Maps, he sees the actual path of the
larger hail only hit 25 zip codes and a few other partial zip codes, so the
number of homes he mails to is 60,000. He did not mail to an additional
15,000 homes that he knows were not damaged, resulting in a savings
of $2,653.

Storm Analysis
The suburbs of Oklahoma City were subjected to a period of severe weather during the early evening hours of November 5, 2008. Two supercell thunderstorms tracked across the north and south side of town. Both storms were capable of producing large hail. The first thunderstorm developed in Canadian County and intensified as it moved into Piedmont, OK. Around this time, it was likely at its most intense, capable of producing very large and destructive hail. It brushed extreme northwestern Oklahoma County and then moved quickly through southern Logan County and over Guthrie. Heavy rain and pockets of smaller hail fell in the wake of this storm. Around this time, another thunderstorm was gaining strength over Grady County, south of Oklahoma City. As this cell crossed the McClain County line and moved through southern Newcastle, it acquired supercellular characteristics. It moved east-northeastward into Moore, producing hail to the size of golf-balls across the southern and eastern side of town. The northern side of Moore likely only saw hail to quarter size or less. As the storm edged into northern Cleveland County, most indications are that the hail core weakened slightly. No hail exceeding quarter size was noted east of Moore. An anomalous storm report of 1.50" hail was recorded just south of Del City. Although it is possible that a few widely scattered hail stones of this diameter fell here during the event, the majority of this area likely experienced smaller hail along with heavy rain.

Hurricane Ike

WindSWATH Analysis
Hurricane Ike made land fall on the north side of Galveston TX around midnight Saturday into the very early morning on Sunday September 14th, 2008. As the storm approached the coast of Texas is began to slow in forward movement and then actually strengthened right before moving on-shore. The storm moved across Beach City through Baytown with 90+ mph winds. The 90+ mph WindSWATH covers a fairly wide area, including the entire south side of Houston where there was a 112 mph wind gust reported in downtown Houston. Please keep in mind, many of the wind gauges became inoperable once winds hit the 75+ mph level. Several of the NOAA Buoy stations on the coast stopped working as well. Hurricane force winds covered almost all of the Houston metro area. As the storm pushed on-shore, it was moving west-northwest and then began a northward turn as it hit the east side of Houston. The information we currently have indicates that most if not all of the areas under the 90+ mph WindSWATH have sustained some type of structural damage. Below is the legend for the color-codes on the map.

FloodSWATH Analysis
A persistent low pressure system which had been located over the lower Mississippi Valley for much of the past week brought a prolonged period of heavy rain across north and central Georgia. The period of rain began on Monday (September 14th), and through Friday much of the forecast area had recorded 1-3 inches of rain with localized amounts of 5-10 inches recorded over eastern portions of the area between Atlanta and Athens, as well as in the Macon area.
The low pressure system began to weaken as it lifted north/northeast this weekend. This system provided a southwest flow of deep Gulf moisture across the Southeast. Surface high pressure building south along the eastern seaboard provided additional Atlantic moisture across the forecast area. The combination of these systems, aided by several upper level impulses, brought persistent heavy rainfall across portions of north and central Georgia where grounds were already saturated from rainfall throughout the past week beginning on Saturday. Heavy rainfall began across the Northeast Georgia Mountains Saturday morning, with additional heavy rain moving into the Atlanta metropolitan area by Saturday evening. Rainfall reports on Saturday showed 3-5 inches fell across portions of Northeast Georgia as well as across much of the Atlanta Metropolitan area. The heavy rainfall continued on Sunday...mainly impacting the Atlanta Metropolitan area during the afternoon and evening hours. 24 hour rainfall totals reported Monday morning showed rainfall amounts of more than 3 inches across portion of the metropolitan area with Douglas and Gwinnett counties hardest hit. Isolated areas in these counties received more than 9 inches with 11.80 inches of rainfall reported in Douglas county. Monday saw additional heavy rainfall across the area with 9 to 12 inches reported across western portions of the Atlanta Metropolitan area.
The heavy rainfall caused significant runoff into area streams and rivers, resulting in major to record flooding across the Atlanta metropolitan area. Numerous street and homes have been flooded, with portions of the downtown connector closed due to water over the road.
