Quick Overview + Express Order
What Is a Hail or Wind Verification Report? Our reports are perfect for documenting instances of hail, high winds and many other weather variables. Each report is specific to a street address, latitude/longitude point or other specific location.
How Does The Process Work? You provide us with your address (or the address that you need the report to be prepared for) and tell us the period of time you'd like for us to provide a history, and we'll put it together and email it to you!
What Kind of Report Should You Order? There are two general types of reports that most customers order: Basic and Forensic.
A Basic Report is typically more than sufficent for documenting hail or high wind (50 mph or greater) history at a specific address and the cost is only $9.95 for up to a 3 year history (scroll down for pricing for longer search periods). View a sample
A Forensic Report is more detailed and also includes weather types other than hail and high winds (such as winds lower than 50 mph, heavy rain, ice, snow, etc.). A Forensic Report includes a mapping of each weather event, in addition to a full written report. The cost is only $29.95 for up to a 3 year history (scroll down for pricing for longer search periods). View a sample

Background Information
From home owners and independent claims adjusters to major nationwide insurance companies, StormIntelligence® Verify is a name that people trust when it comes to the independent verification of severe weather events.
This service - one of our most popular - was formerly known as HailIntelligence Verify. In recent months, we changed the name to StormIntelligence® Verify to better reflect the total package that is offered with the service, which includes not only hail data but also wind, tornado and many other types of weather related damage data as well!
Members
of our team were the first to develop this type of service back in
the early 1990s, and we have continued to build on it using today's
technologies and efficiencies.
Whether you need to verify hail, wind damage or a lightning strike at a
specific address for a specific date, or you need a full history from 1 to
10 years (or more), our StormIntelligence®
Verify service is ready to go to work for you today!
When preparing your report, we utilize the latest in weather radar technology to map the exact size and path of hail and/or wind damage. This results in a much more accurate and complete picture of the damage (or lack of) compared to using the traditional method of piecing together widely spaced spotter reports, which always show an incomplete picture and are often inaccurate.
Our StormIntelligence® verification reports come in two general formats: Basic and Forensic. Please read below for details on each. If you need help, just give us a call or use the online chat and we'll be glad to help you determine the format that is best for your needs.

*A Basic Verification Report with a search period that includes years prior to 2010 requires additional manual processing and is not delivered immediately. Such reports are typically delivered the same day if ordered before 3pm, or the following morning if ordered after 3pm (not including Sundays). All reports with search periods of 2010 and afterward are delivered immediately, unless there is a problem with the way the request form was filled out (i.e., invalid address, missing or invalid email information, etc.). In that case, we will contact you for clarification before we proceed.
Forensic Verification
•Verification
of hail, wind and any other type of weather events for a specific address or location.
•Each report contains 2 parts:
(1). a summary report detailing all hail, high wind or other specified weather events with supporting information and references
(2). detailed mapping of all hail, high wind or other "swath" tracks with the subject location at the center of the map
Typically Best Suited for:
Insurance adjusters, claims representatives, attorneys and engineers needing detailed information to assist in determining whether damage may have taken place at a specific location in association with one or more weather events on known or unknown dates.

The cost for Forensic Verification service is based on the length of the search period:
•0-3 Year History: $29.95
•4-6 Year History: $54.95
•7-10 Year History: $74.95
Search periods greater than 10 years are available upon request. Please contact us for a quote.
Payment may be made online via credit card or by PayPal (where electronic check service is available).
Billing accounts available for commercial customers. If you'd like to set up an account, please call us (or use the online chat) prior to submitting your first request.
Delivery:
•Reports are sent to your e-mail address from our secure e-mail server. Fax, mail and online posting/archiving services are also available.

If this is a concern, please feel free to contact us for a delivery time estimate prior to placing an order.
*Please note: It is important to remember that Forensic reports are prepared by hand and are not automated. Therefore, delivery of Forensic reports will follow the schedule outlined above and "rush" service is not typically available due to the work requirements of this type of report. Also, during periods of high volume and/or widespread severe weather events, additional processing time may be required.
Forensic reports cover all types of weather events except for lightning strike verification. For details on lightning verification and mapping, please go here.
