On the evening of August 26, 2026, hail fell across far north Tarrant County, from the Alliance area southeast of Haslet to the northwest side of Keller. Less than a month later, on September 21, Keller had another quarter size report. Here’s what was recorded.
What the official reports show
The SPC storm reports for August 26, 2026 list two reports in Tarrant County:
| Time (Central) | Size | Location in report |
|---|---|---|
| 5:55 PM | 1.00” quarter | 3 miles northwest of Keller, near Park Vista Blvd and Keller Haslet Rd |
| 5:59 PM | 1.00–1.50” quarter to ping pong ball | 2 miles southeast of Haslet, near Alliance (Golden Triangle area) |
The Keller report came from a trained spotter who described dime size hail with sporadic quarters. The Haslet/Alliance report came from emergency management.
Then the SPC reports for September 21, 2026 list 1-inch hail near Keller Smithfield Rd, 1 mile east-northeast of Keller, near the Golden Triangle, at about 7:25 PM Central.
SPC times are in UTC; we converted them to Central Daylight Time.
Two storms, one roof
When the same area has hail twice in a few weeks, it’s hard to tell from the ground which storm did what. What helps:
- Note both dates, August 26 and September 21.
- Take dated photos of gutters, vents and AC units now.
- Get a dated inspection report so there’s a clear record of the roof’s current condition.
How to read these reports
- Each report is a single point. Hail paths are narrow; homes a mile apart can see very different hail.
- “Sporadic” matters. The Keller spotter saw mostly dime size stones with a few quarters, which is different from steady quarter hail.
- They’re preliminary and say nothing about duration or any specific roof.
What you can check from the ground
Stay off the roof. Look for dents in gutters, downspouts and roof vents, dings in AC fins, granules at downspout outlets, torn screens, and new ceiling stains.
What our free inspection covers
We get on the roof and walk every slope, not just the side that faced the storm. We also fly a drone over the roof to photograph slopes and areas that are hard to reach safely, and we can run a drone thermal (infrared) scan, which shows temperature differences across the roof and helps find where water may have gotten under the surface.
You get a free digital photo report with dated photos of what we found: the shingles or metal, ridge caps, vents, pipe boots, flashing, valleys and gutters. If you decide to file a claim, those photos are documentation you can give your insurance company. We are roofers, not adjusters. We don’t adjust, negotiate or settle claims; your insurer makes the coverage decision.
If there’s nothing wrong, we’ll tell you that.
If water is getting in
We’re open 24/7 for emergencies and do emergency tarping to keep water out until a permanent repair. We respond the same day in almost every case. Take photos of any leak and interior damage before you clean up, and keep receipts for temporary repairs.
If you end up re-roofing
A hail-area re-roof is a good time to upgrade. Every shingle roof we install is Class 3 at minimum, and Class 4 impact-resistant shingles are available. Many Texas insurers offer a premium discount for Class 4; it varies by company, so ask yours. We also install 24- or 26-gauge standing seam metal, formed on our own roll formers. See metal vs. Class 4 shingles for how they compare.
Watch for storm chasers
After hail, out-of-town crews knock doors. Don’t sign anything on your porch, and check that a roofer has a local address and history. Texas law says you must pay your deductible; a contractor offering to waive or “cover” it is breaking the law. We never waive deductibles. Snow Roofing & Exteriors is A+ rated on the BBB, and our main office is in Bridgeport.
