Sources and terms
Sources: hail reports are NWS Local Storm Reports via the Iowa Environmental Mesonet. Radar swaths are NOAA radar estimates of hail size via Iowa State. Counties are placed with US Census cartographic boundaries.
Local Storm Reports are preliminary and unverified: sizes are what spotters, the public and emergency managers reported, and NOAA NCEI's Storm Data, published months later, is the verified record. A report with no size counts toward the total but not toward the size figures. Severe size means 1 inch or larger, the National Weather Service threshold. Crops can be hurt by smaller hail, especially with wind, and the loss depends on growth stage: the corn growing point stays below ground until about V6, and leaf loss near tasseling costs the most yield (Assessing Hail Damage to Corn (NCH-1)). State is the state named on the report. County is placed from each report's coordinates (rounded to about 1 km), so a report near a county line can land in the neighboring county.
Known limits: the radar size is an estimate of the largest stone, not a measurement, and radar estimates tend to run large against measured stones.
