The 2.75-inch maximum here meets or tops the 2-inch hail a roof covering must withstand for the IBHS FORTIFIED High Wind & Hail designation, and 10 of the 51 reports reached 1.75 inches. Half the homes here were built in 2000 or later, so a roof older than the June 19, 2008 storm may still be the original. (Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety)
