Who uses it
Who orders this report, and why.
Car owners
Back up a comprehensive claim with the date, or find out which storm it was.
Dent repair shops
Put the hail record in the customer's claim file.
Dealers and fleets
Date hail on vehicles kept outdoors.
Buyers and sellers

What it doesn't show
It records the storm, not the car.
A compilation of public records has limits. Here they are before you buy.
- It covers one location. If the car might have been at home or at work, order one for each.
- It doesn't identify a vehicle or say what caused its damage.
- Radar estimates hail aloft, not hail on the ground.

Questions
Common questions.
Which address should I enter?
Where the car was when the hail fell, such as your home, your workplace or a parking lot. You can place a pin on the map for a parking lot.
Does insurance need this?
Often not. Hail is usually handled under comprehensive coverage, and many claims go through on photos and an estimate. It helps most when the date is unclear or questioned.
What if I don't know the date?
Read how to check your date of loss or look up your city in Storm Reports.
