What the storm did to roofs in Kirby & Windcrest
The NWS warning at 10:12 PM on September 11, 2026 was centered on Kirby, with golf-ball hail and 60 mph gusts. Trained spotters reported 1.5 inch hail between Converse and Kirby. This is also the area hit by the late-May 2026 wind storm that downed trees and pushed a truck down a Kirby street, so many Kirby roofs have taken two events this year.
What we see on Kirby & Windcrest roofs
Older Kirby and Windcrest roofs with 3-tab shingles show hail damage more readily than newer architectural shingles, and roofs already stressed by the May wind event are more likely to have lifted or creased tabs on top of the September hail bruising.
