“Spotters reported hail up to the size of baseballs in the city of Blair. The combination of giant hail and strong winds damaged most buildings in the city including broken windows and siding damage. Numerous cars were severely damaged as well and a large auto dealership in town reported that cars inventoried at over $100 million sustained at least some damage and in many cases totaled.”

Provenance
Final counts: NCEI Storm Events Database, file vintage c20260527, hail events with recorded magnitude ≥1.00″ and point coordinates within 30 miles of the Omaha anchor. NWS records are point and path observations. The absence of a nearby report does NOT prove that no hail fell at this address — it means no observation was logged nearby. A report of nearby hail documents the event; it does not by itself prove damage to a specific structure. Spotted an error? Email the address on our terms page and we correct against the source.
