About hail reports in Norfolk

While Norfolk's coastal location moderates some severe weather, the city still experiences damaging hail during intense summer thunderstorms and squall lines. Notable events include the severe storms of May 2014 and June 2022, which brought large hail and wind damage to the Hampton Roads area. Peak severe weather season typically runs from late spring through mid-summer.

This Norfolk area 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.

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.
