See call-center options ->NOAA's Storm Prediction Center has logged 18 separate hail days here since 2010 -- 1.1 a year over 17 years of record. They carry 30 reports in total: most hail days here are logged from a single spot. 6 of those 17 years produced none at all. One year dominates the record: 2012 alone produced 4 of the 18 days. The last five years track the long-run rate, with 4 days since 2022.
