How Storm Explorer works
From storm day to address list in three clicks
Pick a state and year
Storm Explorer lists every storm day with hail of 1 inch or larger. Florida in 2025 had 120 of them.
Choose a storm day
Each day shows its largest hail size, labeled by common object, and how many homes sit inside the footprint.
Inspect the footprint
See the storm cells on the map and tap anywhere to inspect the hail estimate at that spot.
Download the addresses
Export every impacted address in one click, ready for canvassing, mailers, or outreach.

Build the lead list
One storm can put thousands of homes on the list. On December 4, 2025, radar estimated hail up to 3.9 inches east of Tampa, across 1,522 homes.

Frequently asked questions
Storm Explorer is a storm lead tool inside Drodat. It lists every day with hail of 1 inch or larger in a state, maps each storm’s footprint, counts the homes inside it, and exports every impacted address with the hail size estimated at that address.
It comes from NOAA MRMS radar, using the Maximum Estimated Size of Hail (MESH) product. Each address gets the largest hail estimate in the roughly 1 km radar cell it sits in, for the 24-hour period of the storm date.
The export is a spreadsheet with each address, city, state, ZIP code, latitude and longitude, the estimated hail size in inches and millimeters, and the data source and method, so every row can be traced back to the radar data.
Storm Explorer covers all 48 contiguous states and Washington, D.C. Pick a state and a year to see every storm day with hail of 1 inch or larger.
Radar hail size is an estimate of the largest hail in an area, not a measurement of the stones that hit a specific roof. Actual hail at one home can be smaller or larger, so pair the estimate with the property’s storm history and an inspection.
No. Storm Explorer is included in every Drodat subscription, with no per-lead or per-download fees.
