If submitting a report by phone (888-745-1637), it is very important to tell us WHEN and WHERE the significant weather event occurred. For geographic reference, an intersection and town are very useful so we can pinpoint the report. If it's a second or third hand report, please give us the source of the original report, along with all the applicable information about what was reported.
Please report the size of the largest hailstones as they cause the most damage. Also, please do not use the term "marble size" or "ice cube" since these items come in many different sizes.
Please report both the estimated wind speed based on the vegetation (see descriptions below) and also any damage or impacts to life and property caused by strong to severe winds.
