ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO
The Heavy Precipitation Supercell continued east from St. Charles County and moved into north St. Louis County. The storm will likely go down in history as one of the most damaging hail storms ever in the area. Hail ranged from 1 to nearly 3 inches in diameter. Thousands of homes and automobiles were damaged. Some automobile dealerships lost virtually their entire inventory. At the Ford Motor Company assembly plant in Hazelwood, all vehicles (hundreds) parked outside were damaged. In Florissant, a community of close to 70,000 people, it was estimated that almost every home suffered some type of hail damage. One insurance company reported that they were working on 20,000 vehicle and 18,000 property claims while another reported 14,600 vehicle and 14,400 property claims. As of April 18, at least 40,000 insurance claims for vehicles were taken in the St. Louis area alone. At Lambert St. Louis International Airport, 22 TWA jetliners suffered minor hail damage. The Missouri Air National Guard had at least 10 fighter aircraft severely damaged.

DISCLAIMER:

The hail-fall record database in e-Hail™ contains reports of 3/4-inch diameter or larger hailstones compiled by the National Weather Service (NWS) through the National Climatic Data Center and the Storm Prediction Center. Reports in the database identified as preliminary do not include all late reports and corrections published in Storm Data, a National Climatic Data Center publication. Hail fall reports were obtained by local NWS offices from a variety of sources including storm spotters, ham radio operators, law enforcement or emergency management personnel, official reporting stations, NWS personnel, media reports, and the general public. The accuracy or completeness of the data has not been confirmed independently by Haag Engineering Co., and Haag Engineering Co. disclaims any responsibility for errors and/or omissions in the database.

The user should understand that a hailstorm is an event which occurs over an area whereas hail-fall reports are listed as point locations. Thus, a hailstorm could cover several square miles and deposit different sizes of hailstones along its path, but there may be only one hail-fall report logged in the database. Locations for hail-fall reports are given as coordinates in latitude and longitude (degrees and minutes) and by geographical city and county names. Coordinates of latitude and longitude do not necessarily represent the precise locations of the hailstorm or the report. In many cities, most hail-fall reports have identical "default" or centroid latitude and longitude coordinates regardless of the location in the city where the hail-fall report actually was made. On occasion, the text accompanying the report may provide addition details about the hailstorm location or damage caused. The property damage information provided is as listed in Storm Data. The sources(s) for this information has not been confirmed by Haag Engineering Co.

The presence of hailfall reports near a specific location or in particular city does not mean that hail of that size (or any size) fell at a particular location. Likewise, the lack of hailfall reports does not mean that hail did not fall in a particular city or at a specific location. Reports of hailfall, regardless of the hail size reported, do not indicate the presence (or absence) of hail-caused damage to property at a particular location. The report can be complete and valid even if no hail reports are found.

I have read and understand the above information. Haag Engineering Co. is not responsible for the accuracy of the governmental data or any conclusions drawn from the information provided by e-Hail™.
