Ask where it hailed, when, and how large, and get the facts from published reports: the largest reported hailstone, the number of reports at 1.00 and 1.75 inches and up, the affected cities and counties, the hail size distribution, and a link to the report page with the map.

Instructions: HailPing publishes storm reports for hail events in the United States. Most are grouped from ground-truth hail reports of 1.00 inch and larger (source: Vaisala Xweather storm reports), with the largest reported hailstone, report counts, affected cities and counties, and a hail size distribution; some are radar-estimated (next sentence). Reports are published within about a day of a storm and cover 2025 onward; coverage is the continental United States only. Nothing here is a forecast or a warning. Some storms are radar-estimated: published from NOAA MRMS radar before any ground report, labelled by report_source ("mrms_mesh" for radar only, "mixed" for a radar estimate plus a few ground reports; "reports" is a ground-report storm). A radar figure is an estimate, never a measurement, and such a storm has few or no ground reports to count. Every result carries the hailping.com page URL for that report or market, where the same facts are published with a map. Hail markets are city pages that roll up every qualifying event near that city, including the most recent significant hail date. The open tools answer by storm, city or point. For one US street address, returns that address's radar-estimated hail history (2020 onward) for a person signed in to HailPing; a free account works.
