The housing stock

An established small city with housing spanning its long history and more recent residential growth.

What we look at on a roof in Harrison

• Open western ground with less shelter, so edge detailing does more work here than in the sheltered river neighborhoods.
• A wide age range of housing, meaning the layer count and the deck are always the first questions.

What the storm record actually shows

Within five miles of the center of 45030, NOAA recorded 2 hail events and 6 damaging-wind events between 2021 and 19 May 2026. The largest hail on record is 1″ on 2 April 2024. The strongest recorded gust is 59 kt (68 mph).

That ratio is the point. Wind outnumbers hail here by a wide margin, which is why the starter course, the drip edge and the nailing pattern do more for a roof in Harrison than the impact rating printed on the shingle wrapper. Wind damage also does not look like damage from the ground: a creased or unsealed shingle sits flat and looks fine until the next storm takes it.

Storm Check lists every one of these events with dates, sizes and distances for ZIP 45030.
