The 2.5-inch maximum here meets or tops the 2-inch hail a roof covering must withstand for the IBHS FORTIFIED High Wind & Hail designation, and 8 of the 36 reports reached 1.75 inches. Half the homes here were built in 2000 or later, so a roof older than the July 8, 2016 storm may still be the original. (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety)
