County hail risk
What this means if you live in Dallas: Dallas County sits in the 100th percentile nationally for hail risk — higher than roughly 100% of U.S. counties. That's not an abstract ranking: it shows up as 374 real, dated severe weather events hitting the area in 11 of the last 11 years — 202 hail, 156 damaging wind, and 16 tornado. In a market that sees severe weather this often, the roofer you pick matters more than in a calm-weather city — look for someone with real storm-damage inspection and insurance claim experience, not just general roofing work, since that's the skill this specific climate actually tests.
