Methodology
Events are official NOAA/National Weather Service Local Storm Reports (damaging wind and hail) for the Washington–Baltimore region, filtered to the core DMV counties. Reports are trained-spotter and public reports verified through NWS channels; they indicate where damage occurred and are not a prediction. Raw feed: weather.gov.

What this means for your roof
Wind of 60+ mph creases and lifts asphalt shingles; hail of 1″ and larger bruises mats and cracks fiberglass. Both are sudden damage — generally covered by homeowners insurance, minus your deductible. If your neighborhood appears in the reports above and your roof is 15+ years old, a documented inspection protects your claim window. United Developers documents damage, meets your adjuster on-site, and by law never pays, waives, or rebates a deductible.
