Ping pong-sized hail detected near Moore, OK on June 22, 2026
Hail was detected at a radar-indicated point within the Moore monitoring area. Actual impact can vary by neighborhood, so nearby homes should use this as a signal to check roofs, gutters, siding, and vehicles.
Damage assessment
The radar-indicated strike landed approximately 13 miles east of downtown Moore — one report was logged in Cleveland County that day. At 1.5 inches, architectural asphalt shingles are at the threshold for functional damage: granule loss is likely, and bruising or cracking is possible on shingles already past the 10-year mark. Newer roofs may show only cosmetic impact, but that distinction matters for insurance purposes and requires a physical inspection to determine. Cleveland County's largest recorded event reached 3 inches on April 19, 2023 — today's storm was meaningfully smaller but still within the range where hidden damage is common.
On a $189,300 home with a 2% wind-and-hail deductible, you're looking at roughly $3,786 out of pocket before insurance pays anything. Typical repair cost for a 2,000 square foot roof runs $5,515, with a range of $4,512 to $6,517 depending on slope, access, and current material costs. Get a professional inspection before making any insurance decisions.
At these numbers, the typical repair cost exceeds a standard 2% deductible. Contact your insurer — damage at this level is likely worth filing before you pay out of pocket.

Historical context
This event ranks 51st of 129 hail events measuring 1 inch or larger recorded in the Cleveland County area over the past 10 years — a mid-range storm, not a record setter. The largest on record reached 3 inches on April 19, 2023. June historically produces 30 events of this size in 10 years for this county, which is above the monthly average, so late-season activity here is not unusual.
Storm system
This was not an isolated cell. The same system produced golf ball-sized hail (2.25 inches) in Oklahoma County and 2-inch stones in Garfield County the same day, with additional hail reports spanning from Comanche County, Oklahoma to Sedgwick County, Kansas.
Contractor guidance
Local contractor data shows current backlogs running 2 to 4 weeks, which is typical following a regional multi-county event. The storm chaser risk for Moore is assessed as moderate — the city sees out-of-area contractors move in after major regional storms, and this event's geographic spread across several counties will draw them. Oklahoma requires roofing contractors to register with the state under the Oklahoma Roofing Contractor Registration Act (SB 2180, 2010) before performing any work — verify that registration before signing anything. Also confirm current general liability and workers' compensation coverage, and ask for references.
Permits & building code
At 1.5 inches, repair is the more likely outcome for roofs in reasonable condition, though full replacement is possible on older or compromised surfaces. In Moore, the contractor pulls the permit — expect a permit cost of $150 to $350 and a required inspection after the work is complete. Class 4 impact-resistant shingles qualify for a 10–20% discount with most Oklahoma insurers.
