Given this, the determination has been that|intense straight-line winds up to 90mph occurred across the|northern parts of the island. This damage consisted most notably|of a collapsed small cell tower. Capt`n Snappers restaurant had|windows broken, their door pushed in, and an AC unit tossed off a|wooden crate it was sitting on.

The most recent quarter-size-or-larger hail storm recorded by NOAA within 25 miles of Tillmans Corner was on May 7, 2026. HailCheck refreshes from the NOAA Storm Events database daily, so newer events appear here as they are reported.
Tillmans Corner averages roughly 6 reported hail events per year within a 25-mile radius. Significant storms (quarter-size or larger) account for 31 of the 32 events recorded over the last five years.
The largest documented hail near Tillmans Corner in the last five years was egg-sized. Most Tillmans Corner-area hail falls in the marble-to-quarter range, with destructive storms (egg-size or larger) appearing roughly once every few years.
Most homeowners insurance policies in AL cover hail damage to roofs, siding, and gutters under the dwelling and other-structures coverage. Coverage typically requires the damage to be tied to a verifiable storm date — which is where the NOAA hail history above (and a HAAG-style test square validation) becomes important for the claim file.
Use the HailCheck address search to enter any street address in or near Tillmans Corner. HailCheck returns every NOAA hail event within a configurable radius, along with severity bands, dates, and storm narratives for Pro members.
If your property in or near Tillmans Corner took on hail during one of the storms above, the standard process for documenting damage is a 10×10 foot test square inspection. A HAAG-trained reviewer counts impact indicators — granule displacement, mat fractures, and bruising — within the marked square and produces a PASS or FAIL document for the claim file.
HailCheck offers a $99 photo-based HAAG-style test square validation. You submit photos from the field, our reviewer evaluates the impact indicators and cross-references the NOAA storm dates listed above, and a written PASS/FAIL determination is returned within one business day. We do not send anyone to the roof — the validation is built around the photos you submit.
Learn About $99 HAAG-Style ValidationTillmans Corner sits east of the traditional hail alley, where hail events are less frequent than the central plains but tend to be associated with strong squall lines and tropical systems. Local roof systems are less commonly hardened for hail, which can mean even moderate impacts produce claim-worthy damage.
