What it means for paintless dent repair in Omaha
Hail is what paintless dent repair fixes, so these days are when Omaha-area body damage and insurance claims spike.
How we counted
We downloaded NOAA NCEI Storm Events detail files for 2010 to the latest release and kept every Hail event in Douglas and Sarpy counties, NE + Pottawattamie County, IA. A hail day is a calendar day with at least one report in those counties. Recent months appear only after NOAA publishes them, so the current year is incomplete.
