1. Note the date of the storm event. Write down which event affected your area — March 15 (Brevard), May 12 (Seminole), or May 15–16 (Volusia). Florida law sets specific timelines for reporting windstorm and hurricane claims under Florida Statute 627.70132. We do not advise on filing decisions. For specific policy timelines, consult your insurance carrier or a licensed Florida public adjuster.
2. Inspect from the ground first. Look in gutters and downspouts for accumulated granules. Check soft metal (vents, gutter aprons, flashing) for dents. Look for any visibly lifted or torn shingles. Do not climb on the roof.
3. Get a written, photo-documented inspection. Most hail and wind damage is not visible from the ground. A written inspection report — with photographs — establishes the condition of your roof today. Whether or not damage is present, that record protects you for the next storm.
4. Consider getting documentation before contacting your insurance company. Insurance carriers typically require documentation of damage as part of any claims process. A written inspection report — with photographs — establishes the condition of your roof today regardless of what you choose to do next. Whether and when to contact your insurance carrier is your decision.
5. Be cautious of door-knockers. Storm-chasing contractors flood Florida storm zones after events. Verify any contractor's Florida license at myfloridalicense.com. Alron's licenses: CCC1328819 | CGC1515789.

Yes. NWS Melbourne issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Brevard County at 3:24 PM EDT on Sunday, March 15, 2026, with a separate warning for the Palm Bay and Melbourne area at 4:45 PM. Hail up to approximately 1.5–1.75 inches (golf-ball sized) and damaging wind gusts over 50 mph were reported. NOAA Storm Prediction Center data indicates ZIP 32909 (southwest Palm Bay / Bayside Lakes area) was a concentrated impact zone.
The National Weather Service classifies a thunderstorm as severe at one inch hail diameter or 58 mph wind gusts. Hail at or above one inch is widely considered capable of damaging asphalt shingles. The March 15, 2026 Brevard event produced hail well above that threshold — 1.5 to 1.75 inches — making damage to roofs in the impact corridor likely.
Confirmed impact zones include 32905, 32907, 32908, and 32909 (Palm Bay) on March 15, 2026; 32708 (Winter Springs), 32765 (Oviedo), 32766 (Chuluota), and the Lake Mary corridor on May 12, 2026; and 32114, 32118, 32127, 32128, 32129 (Port Orange and Daytona Beach) on May 15–16, 2026.
Florida law sets specific reporting requirements for windstorm and hurricane claims under Florida Statute 627.70132. Reporting deadlines and policy terms vary by insurance carrier and policy type.
