What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
The West Badin Springs Hotel had extensive hail damage which caused the closure of the atrium for several days. Multiple types of roof covering, including clay tiles, shingles, and safety glass panels that were made with a wire mesh inside, were damaged and widespread. Many of the glass panels were original to the hotel that opened in 1902. Multiple holes were observed through the safety glass and vertical glass windows that were on the side of the atrium and in a roof access door. Many of these holes were the size of softballs or larger. Visual dents could also be seen on the parts of the roof covered in shingles. Pieces of shingles were torn, and clay tiles were broken with broken pieces falling on the roof below. The heaviest damage was on parts of the building facing the northwest.
