About hail reports in Kentucky

Kentucky experiences significant severe weather driven by warm, moist Gulf air clashing with continental systems, averaging dozens of severe hail events annually. Notable events include destructive supercells dropping golf-ball to tennis-ball-sized hail across Jefferson and Fayette counties, causing extensive residential and agricultural damage.

This Kentucky statewide research page connects reported NOAA/SPC hail activity with THOR’s interactive map. Use the map to investigate a place, ZIP code, county, address, or storm area alongside available hail swaths, NEXRAD radar, and Timeline replay.

From hail research to field work

  1. Open the interactive map and review reported hail in the selected area.
  2. Compare the broader storm corridor with radar, hail swaths, and Timeline replay.
  3. Use Market Priority, Impact View, and map layers to focus the next area.
  4. Save the investigation as a property report, lead workflow, alert, or export.

Hail map questions

What is a hail swath map?

A hail swath is a radar-derived estimate of where a hail-producing storm cell traveled. THOR places swaths beside reported hail events, radar, and Timeline replay so you can study the full storm corridor.

Can I check hail history by address?

Yes. THOR searches by address, ZIP code, county, or place and creates Property Storm History reports that stay in My Reports for reopening, sharing, or browser PDF export.

Can roofing teams use THOR for canvassing?

Yes. THOR includes built-in canvassing with map pins, imported leads, statuses, notes, call and drive actions, follow-up dates, Storm Hits, Lead Storm Monitor, and exportable storm data.

How does THOR help prioritize storm damage work?

Market Priority compares the storm events already on the map with household, residential-density, population, and Residential Score context. Impact View, Heat Grid, and Timeline help the team sort the broader storm picture before field follow-up.

Build the next storm workflow

THOR combines nationwide hail research with storm replay, mapping, reports, alerts, canvassing, lead follow-up, and exports in one workspace.
