County hail risk
What this means if you live in Raleigh: Wake County sits in the 99th percentile nationally for hail risk — higher than roughly 99% of U.S. counties. That's not an abstract ranking: it shows up as 469 real, dated severe weather events hitting the area in 11 of the last 11 years — 130 hail, 334 damaging wind, and 5 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.
