Was it this strong at a specific address?
IDOLCheck does not verify storm evidence at a property. We combine official reports and warning records to show the relevant storm activity associated with a specific address or location, including the most recent 30 days.

Combined, not forecast. A county ranks on its strongest gust from an SPC report or an NWS warning classified as radar-indicated or spotter-observed. Hail/wind warnings count on the wind side when they carry a gust between 50 and 180 mph. Values outside that range are dropped.
30-day gate. Events from the last 30 days show month-only dates and no official quote. Full report text unlocks after that, or immediately in the app.
Week and month cuts use midnight America/Chicago (SPC convention). This week runs Sunday through today.
