Storm & Hail Damage in Broken Arrow, OK
You don't have to wonder whether the last storm left damage on your roof, and you don't have to climb up there to find out. Fill in the form, and one of our roofers who works your part of Broken Arrow can get up there and tell you.
Storm and hail damage in Broken Arrow, OK hides under the granules.
A hail day either cracked the mat under your shingles or it didn't, and from the driveway those two roofs look identical. That's the trouble with hail on asphalt: it does its work under a granule layer that still looks sound. Finding out costs nothing, and what you do with the answer is yours.
So how does anyone tell? Up on the roof, in person, which is what a roof inspection is for. Hail rarely punches a hole in asphalt; it cracks the fiberglass mat while the granules over the top stay put, and the bruise that leaves is soft and dark and gives under a thumb. We're on your side of that: our roofers write down what's on your roof, and a busy hail season doesn't make that list any longer. When something does need doing, you get the figure itemized line by line before anyone starts.
Tulsa County storm record, on the books.
This is a county record, four years deep, and it answers one question well: whether hail big enough to hurt asphalt really falls here, and how often. The largest hail on it was reported at Broken Arrow itself. What it can't do is tell you what landed on your own roof, and that's what a look up there settles.
Source: NOAA / NCEI Storm Events Database · Tulsa County 2023–2026 · updated July 2026. Year rows count hail days at 1" or larger; the county figure above counts every hail day on record, at any size. Dated rows are the largest event of each recent year, then the largest remaining on record. Every row here is a county-level report, filed where somebody was around to make one, so a blank stretch on this list doesn't mean nothing fell there, only that nobody logged it.
What Broken Arrow storms leave on a roof
Hail and wind leave two different marks up there, and neither one looks like a hole in the roof. Your roofer checks the mat, the soft metal and the penetrations, because that's where the evidence sits.
- A soft spot under your thumb: hail cracks the fiberglass mat under a granule layer that still looks sound, and the bruise goes dark against shingle that's otherwise fine.
- Grit collecting at the downspout: the mineral surface shakes loose and washes down, so the asphalt underneath sits open to the sun.
- Dents on everything softer: gutters, downspout elbows, vent hoods, window wraps and the air conditioner fins mark at hail sizes a shingle still absorbs.
- Shingles set back down loose: wind breaks the seal strip, lifts a tab and drops it flat again with a crease across it, and it doesn't re-bond after that.
- Split boots and battered ridge caps: the rubber collar around a vent pipe cracks with age and hail, and the caps along the ridge sit highest and take it from every direction.
- Nothing showing at all, yet: a cracked mat can hold water out for a season or two, so it's usually found on a date long after the storm that caused it.
The read that settles it happens up on the roof, so a free inspection is how you find out whether one of these days reached yours. Whatever turns up comes back dated, and that's the part that matters if an insurance claim ever enters it. If it turns out something needs doing, storm and hail repair is what that work looks like.
