Q. How severe was the July 16, 2026 hail and wind storm on Long Beach Island?
A. The July 16, 2026 storm brought hail up to 1.5 inches and damaging straight-line wind gusts up to 84 mph to Long Beach Island and southern Ocean County, New Jersey. Conditions of this severity can damage roofing, siding, gutters, flashing and other exterior components, even when damage is not immediately visible from the ground.
Q. What areas of Long Beach Island were affected by the July 16 storm?
A. The severe weather impacted Long Beach Island and surrounding communities in southern Ocean County, NJ. Storm conditions can vary considerably over short distances, so the amount of hail or wind damage may differ from one neighborhood—or even one property—to another.
Q. What kind of roof and siding damage can 1.5-inch hail and 84 mph winds cause?
A. Hail and high winds can cause lifted, loosened or missing shingles, granule loss, hail impact marks, damaged flashing, dented gutters and downspouts, and cracked or displaced siding. Some storm damage may compromise roofing materials without causing an immediate leak, making a professional inspection important after a severe storm.
Q. Does my insurance company already know about the July 16 Long Beach Island storm?
A. Insurance carriers have access to weather and storm-event data and may already be aware that severe hail and damaging winds occurred in the Long Beach Island area on July 16, 2026. However, confirmation of a storm does not establish damage to an individual home. The property still needs to be inspected and any storm-related damage properly documented.
Q. How does Pro Storm Repair document possible damage from the Long Beach Island storm?
A. Pro Storm Repair uses a comprehensive 23-point property inspection to identify and document potential hail and wind damage to your home's exterior. Homeowners receive detailed findings and supporting documentation that provide a clear record of the property's condition and can be useful if an insurance claim is necessary.

On July 16, 2026, Long Beach Island and southern Ocean County were hit by a powerful storm producing hail up to 1.5 inches and damaging straight-line winds. An 84 mph wind gust was recorded at Surf City Yacht Club—an actual observed measurement, not simply a forecast or radar estimate.

For homeowners, these documented storm reports are important. They provide independent evidence that damaging weather occurred in your area on a specific date. Insurance carriers have access to weather and storm data when evaluating claims, so you are not starting with the burden of proving that a severe storm occurred. The next step is determining whether that documented event caused damage to your specific property and whether that damage may be covered under your policy.
If your home was in or near the storm's path, the next step is determining what happened to your property. Pro Storm Repair's FREE 23-Point Exterior Home Damage Inspection evaluates your roof for hail impacts, wind-lifted shingles, granule loss, flashing, vents, gutters, soffits, fascia and other potential storm-related damage.
