The window between "a storm just hit" and "every roofer in three states is knocking on the same doors" is short. This pulls active severe weather alerts straight from the National Weather Service and scores them for canvassing potential — hail size and wind speed are the two numbers that actually predict roof and property damage claims.

What it does

  1. Fetches every active NWS alert for each state you give it.
  2. Drops anything below your minimum severity before billing.
  3. Pulls hail size and wind gust out of the alert's structured parameters when NWS reports them.
  4. Scores every alert 0–100: severity level, hail size, wind speed, and a bump for the event types that correlate hardest with property damage (tornado, hurricane, severe thunderstorm).
  5. Sorts highest-score first, so the storm worth driving to today is at the top.

Input

Only states is required.

{
"states": ["FL", "TX", "OK"],
"minSeverity": "Moderate"
}

Run it on a schedule across the states you cover, and you've got a same-day feed of where to send crews.

Pricing

Pay per event. You're billed per alert returned and once per state digested. Data source: National Weather Service (api.weather.gov), no API key required.
