Ground reports are observations from spotters, the public and officials. Most hail is never reported, so no report does not mean no hail.
What to check after this storm
From the ground, look at soft metals: gutters, downspouts, vents and the fins on your AC unit. Dents and dings there mean hail hit hard enough to bruise shingles. Granules piling up at downspout outlets are another sign. Do not climb on the roof; a free inspection settles it with photos.
