SERVPRO® of Fargo responds to thunderstorm damage emergencies in Fargo and Cass County 24-hours a day. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) describes the size of a hailstone by comparing it to a known object. According to the NOAA, most hailstorms are made up of a mix of different sizes, and only the very largest hailstones pose a serious risk to people caught in the open. When reporting hail, estimates comparing the hail to a known object with a definite size are good, but measurements using a ruler, calipers, or a tape measure are best.
