As the former owner of HailWatch, I can tell you that the statistics do not support more frequent hailstorms so that is not the driver behind this increase. The increase is due to more claims being filed. The technology to track storms and provide roofing and dent repair companies access to every single hail storm no matter where the hail falls has increased 10 fold over the past 5 years. The frequency of hail storms is not the reason why there are more claims.
