WeatherStrike reports are used by anyone needing weather data for determining damages to the exterior envelope of a building for specific dates. The list of typical users would include Home Owners, Architects, Engineers, Building Inspectors, Claim Adjusters, Attorneys, Insurance Agent/Carrier and Building/Complex Owners.

How did WeatherStrike start?

WeatherStrike started because of the confusion and difficulty of accurately capturing large "Hail" & high "Wind" weather events for a specific location over a specific date range. This weather information is critically important as a starting point to determine the date(s) large "Hail" and/or high "Wind" events occurred at or near a property site.

What dates and locations does WeatherStrike cover?

WeatherStrike reports have access to weather data from January 01, 2000, to the present available NOAA/NWS weather data. Data is updated on a daily basis. WeatherStrike reports are for the Continental US (48 States), Alaska & Hawaii.
