• A HAILTRACE FIELD LESSON

Two Storms. One was worth working.

March brought baseball hail. May brought golf ball hail. The larger hail-size storm lost. Here's the 14-minute breakdown of how the season played out in Oklahoma City, and the map-reading framework that works in every market HailTrace covers.

Same city. Same season. 
​Different math.

MARCH 11 - OKC METRO

MAX HAILBaseball
 RATING ★★★★★
 MAP SIGNAL Hatched
 VOLUME Isolated
 DURATION4-5 min

Big stones. Empty ground between them. Two weeks of knocking with almost nothing to show.

MARCH 11 - OKC METRO

MAX HAILGolf ball
 RATING ★★★★★
 MAP SIGNAL Unhatched
 VOLUME High
 EST. PROPERTIES~20,000

Smaller hail. Tons of it. The storm that actually paid out.

Three things most contractors
read wrong.

What the pattern actually means on the map

Hatched paths signal isolated volume. Unhatched means real volume. Miss the difference and you deploy a crew where the roofs aren't.

Why volume beats size almost every time.

A 5-star golf ball storm produces more damage than a 3-star baseball storm. The rating reflects damage potential, not hail size.

Two guys on the small one. Four on the big one.

Read the map first. Send inspectors on isolated events. Deploy the team on volume events. That's how cash flow stays alive in a slow year.
