County hail risk
What this means if you live in Nashville: Davidson County sits in the 88th percentile nationally for hail risk — higher than roughly 88% of U.S. counties. That's not an abstract ranking: it shows up as 559 real, dated severe weather events hitting the area in 11 of the last 11 years — 76 hail, 465 damaging wind, and 18 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.
