June kicked off the way May ended — with bowling-ball hail and a phone that would not stop ringing. Three discrete events between May 25 and June 2 dropped qualifying hail across more than a dozen DFW ZIP codes, and the claim volume is already on pace to outrun the entire 2025 storm season.
June 2 — Tarrant County supercell
A long-track supercell fired west of Weatherford just after 4 p.m. and tracked east through Aledo, Benbrook, and southwest Fort Worth before weakening near Burleson. Spotter reports verified hail to 2.75" in Aledo and a 12-minute core dump of 2"+ stones over the Chapel Creek corridor.
May 28 — Collin County training cells
Two cells trained over the same path between McKinney and Princeton, producing 1.75"–2.25" hail with wind gusts above 70 mph. The repeat hits are showing up as compounded damage on roofs that were borderline after April — bruising on top of bruising, which is the easiest claim to document we see all year.
May 25 — Memorial Day cluster
A messy multicell cluster moved through Denton, Lewisville, and Flower Mound on Memorial Day evening. Hail sizes were smaller (1"–1.5") but the duration was long — 20+ minutes of continuous fall in some neighborhoods. That kind of event hammers soft metals and accelerates granule loss even when individual stones look unimpressive.
What carriers are doing right now
- Inspection backlogs are running 10–18 days in the hardest-hit ZIPs.
- Two major carriers have already pulled new-business binding inside Tarrant, Parker, and Collin counties through July.
- Desk adjusters are aggressively flagging "wear and tear" on roofs over 12 years — expect to fight for full slope replacements without solid pre-storm documentation.
What to do this week
If your address sat under any of these three storms, get a documented inspection on the calendar now. Claim windows are 12 months on most policies but the documentation you capture in the first 30 days is what wins supplements six months from now. StormShield members are already scheduled — everyone else, the queue is open.
