MN Hail Buddy
Address-level hail history, claim deadlines, and contractor license checks for Minnesota homeowners: built on NOAA radar and State of Minnesota public data.
This site is part of the Buddy Network, a collection of Minnesota consumer tools built by attorney Dan Swenson.
I am Dan Swenson, a data nerd who is also a Minnesota workers' compensation attorney and a city council member. I build these sites as a hobby to make public records, government rules, and license registries easy to find and use. The tools are free. The network pays for itself through disclosed referral links and a few optional paid guides.
More about why I build these
MN Hail Buddy is an independent educational resource. It is not a law firm, not an insurance company, and not affiliated with the State of Minnesota or NOAA. Nothing on this site is legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Hail data is radar-estimated from NOAA's Severe Weather Data Inventory. Radar shows estimated hail at altitude, not confirmed damage at your roof. Always verify deadlines against your own policy and, for legal questions about your claim, talk to a Minnesota attorney.
If you request a contractor inspection, we may be compensated for the referral. Privacy policy.
