Calgary
A smaller event than the ones above it, and heavily weighted to vehicles — IBC reported that vehicle damage made up 65% of all claims. Roof damage from a storm this size tends to be patchy and street-by-street rather than city-wide, which is exactly the situation where an inspection is worth more than a guess from the ground.
about $92 million in insured damage as of August 2025.

Report it to your insurer as soon as you can. Alberta policies require prompt notice and every insurer interprets that differently, so the longer it's been the harder the conversation gets — but a well-documented storm is not the same as a hopeless claim. What carries a late report is a dated, itemized assessment tying the damage on your roof to an event the insurer already has on file.
Hail damage has a recognisable signature — random-pattern impacts, granule loss concentrated at strike points, bruising you can feel — that reads differently from uniform weathering. Documenting that signature slope by slope with scale references, and reasoning from the damage pattern to the storm's track, is what establishes a date of loss. An assertion without that reasoning is not documentation.
Possibly, for two reasons. Components that weren't replaced — vents, flashing, skylights, soft metals — take hail independently of the shingles and are frequently left out of a scope. And post-storm work in Calgary is done fast, in a supply crunch, by whoever was available; exposed nails, reused flashing and short nail patterns are common findings on roofs from those periods.
Regularly, and substantially. Insured-loss figures are revised as claims are counted — the July 2021 estimate more than doubled from its first published number. An early figure is never the final one, which is worth knowing when a contractor quotes you the scale of a storm.
