Plano ranked the No. 5 U.S. city for hail claims in NICB's national 2016-2018 report, with 42,659 claims in that three-year window — a single Collin County suburb landing in the national top 5. Plano sits squarely in what meteorologists call "Hail Alley," with severe storms concentrated in a March-through-June window.
Storm chasers know Plano's name too
After a big Plano hailstorm, out-of-town "storm restoration" crews that chase weather across the country show up fast, target newer subdivisions first, and sign up as many roofs as they can before moving to the next city. That's a direct consequence of Plano's national-top-5 reputation — it's a known destination for crews following the storm map, not just a local secret.
Speed matters, but so does covering the right streets
Competing with crews that show up the day after a storm means a local contractor needs to be just as fast — but pointed at the roofs that actually took damage, not just the newest-looking subdivision a chase crew canvassed first.
In a city storm-chase crews already have on their map, being first at the door only matters if you're at the right door.
