MN Hail Buddy

Free · Built on NOAA public data · No login

Was your Minnesota home hit by hail?

Minnesota leads the nation in hail claim payouts. Check what the radar saw over your roof, learn your claim deadline, and tell a legitimate roofer from a storm chaser — all from public records.

Three problems, one site

After a storm you face three questions: was my house actually hit, what are my rights and deadlines, and who can I trust to fix it? The answers are in government data. We just make them readable.

Look up your address

Type your address and see every radar-detected hail event over your property since 2011 — size, date, and distance, straight from NOAA data.

Run the free lookup

Know your deadline

Minnesota policies often give you two years to sue your insurer — but many carriers have cut hail claims to one. Find the clause and start your clock.

Open the deadline clock

Know your rights

RCV vs. ACV, the two-check system, the deductible-waiver ban, your 72-hour cancellation right — explained in plain English with the statute cited.

Why trust this site?

Every hail event shown here comes from NOAA's Severe Weather Data Inventory — the same radar data insurers and meteorologists use. Every legal statement cites the Minnesota statute so you can check it yourself. Radar is probabilistic: it shows estimated hail size aloft, not confirmed damage on your shingles. We say that plainly on every report, because the honest answer is the useful one.
