What Affects Rates in Springfield
- Recent tornado touchdowns: EF-1 and EF-0 tornadoes touched down near Fair Grove in April 2024 and May 2024, uprooting trees and damaging structures across Greene County. A May 2023 EF-0 event also struck Fair Grove with 77 mph winds.
- Tennis ball hail documented: April 2023 brought 2-inch hail to west Springfield, Republic, and Willard, damaging over 100 homes and dozens of vehicles in a single event.
- Older housing stock: Greene County's median home build year is 1982, meaning many roofs are past the 20–25 year lifespan for asphalt shingles and face replacement after storm exposure.
- Peak storm season timing: May is the most active month for both tornadoes and hail across Missouri. Contractors schedule replacement work heavily in late spring and summer following damage.
