Wake County’s storm record
From 2016 through 2025, NOAA’s Storm Events Database logged 125 hail reports in Wake County on 30 separate days, 322 damaging thunderstorm-wind reports and 5 tornadoes. Named storms left their mark too: Hermine, Florence, Michael, Dorian, Isaias and Ian appear in the county’s tropical storm and hurricane records.
Hail and wind damage, up close
93 of Wake County’s hail reports were an inch or larger, the size the National Weather Service calls severe; the largest measured 2.75 inches, on May 13, 2019. Hail bruises and cracks shingles, strips granules into the gutters and dents every soft metal on the roof — vents, flashing, gutters, pipe collars.
Wind is the other half: the strongest measured thunderstorm gust in the county’s records is 66 knots, about 76 mph, on September 8, 2023. Wind creases and tears tabs, lifts ridge caps and brings down limbs — and a tree on a roof is a structural job before it is a roofing job.

The first 48 hours after a Cary storm
Get everyone clear
Stay out of rooms under a sagging ceiling or a tree strike, and treat every downed line as live. Call the utility before anyone goes near one.
Photograph before anything moves
Roof, attic, ceilings, siding, gutters and the yard — with a coin or ruler next to the hail. Pictures taken before cleanup are the backbone of a claim.
Stop the water
The NC Department of Insurance tells homeowners to “make temporary repairs so further damage doesn’t occur and keep your receipts” — and to hold off on permanent repairs until the insurer has inspected. An emergency tarp is exactly that kind of repair.
Report it promptly
NCDOI notes that every homeowners policy in North Carolina requires prompt notice to your agent or company — and that the insurer should acknowledge the claim within 30 days.
Don’t sign at the door
NCDOI warns homeowners to “beware of contractor or roofing representatives going door-to-door after a disaster.” Get your own quotes from roofers with a local record — like the ones on this page.
North Carolina gives you extra protection against high-pressure storm sales: a residential roof contract sold away from the seller’s place of business carries a five-business-day cancellation window after an insurance claim denial, and the seller can’t start work or take payment during it. (Licensed general contractors are outside that rule, and emergency work you approve in writing can be billed.)
What “total loss” looks like on a roof
Insurers pay for what the storm damaged, not for a roof you wanted anyway. NCDOI’s homeowner FAQ says the company has to “replace the damaged area; even if the shingles will not match.” A full replacement happens when the damage is everywhere:
- Hail hits on every slope, not just the side that faced the storm — bruised or cracked shingles, exposed mat, granules piled in the gutters.
- Wind that creased or tore tabs across large areas, or peeled whole sections back to the decking.
- A tree strike that broke decking or rafters, where the repair has to go down to the structure.
- Damage that leaves too little matching roof to repair against.
Your deductible after a named storm
A hurricane, tropical storm or tropical depression can trigger a separate named-storm deductible, and it is often a percentage of your dwelling coverage. NCDOI’s example: a 2% named-storm deductible on a home insured for $300,000 is $6,000. Know yours before storm season, not after.

Cary storm damage questions
How often does hail hit Cary?
NOAA’s Storm Events Database logged 125 hail reports in Wake County on 30 days from 2016 through 2025; 93 were an inch or larger, the National Weather Service’s severe threshold.
Should I tarp my roof before the adjuster inspects?
Yes. The NC Department of Insurance tells homeowners to make temporary repairs so further damage doesn’t occur, keep the receipts, and wait on permanent repairs until the insurer has inspected.
What is the strongest storm wind recorded in Wake County recently?
The strongest measured thunderstorm gust in the county’s 2016 through 2025 NOAA records is 66 knots, about 76 mph, on September 8, 2023.
Which named storms have hit Wake County lately?
NOAA’s Storm Events Database lists tropical storm or hurricane entries for Wake County from Hermine, Florence, Michael, Dorian, Isaias and Ian between 2016 and 2025.
Can I cancel a roof contract I signed at my door?
North Carolina adds a five-business-day cancellation window after an insurance claim denial to residential roof contracts sold away from the seller’s place of business, and the seller can’t start work or collect payment during it (G.S. 14-401.13). Licensed general contractors are outside that rule.
