A hail storm struck Splendora and the 77372 zip code on March 16, 2026. If your vehicle was parked outside, it may have hail damage. Pro PDR offers free inspections.
On March 16, 2026, a hail storm moved through Splendora, Texas and dropped 1 inch hail across the 77372 zip code. Roughly 3,100 structures were in the path of this storm, and vehicles parked outside during the event took direct hits. If you were in Splendora or anywhere nearby that afternoon, your car likely has dent damage — whether you can see it yet or not.
One inch hail is roughly the size of a quarter. That is big enough to leave dents on every horizontal surface of a vehicle — the hood, roof, and trunk lid take the worst of it. Side panels and fenders can also get hit depending on wind direction during the storm.
At impact speed, hailstones this size create shallow but visible dents in sheet metal. On softer panels like aluminum hoods and roofs, the damage can be more pronounced. Even on steel panels, 1 inch hail leaves dimples and dings that are easy to miss at first glance but become obvious under the right lighting conditions.
This type of damage does not crack paint in most cases, which means paintless dent repair (PDR) is the ideal fix. PDR removes hail dents without sanding, filling, or repainting — keeping the factory finish intact and preserving the vehicle's resale value.
Hail storms do not stop at zip code lines. The same storm system that hit Splendora on March 16 tracked across a wide area of southeast Texas. Drivers in the following communities should assume their vehicles may have been impacted:
If you were anywhere in these areas on March 16 and your vehicle was not in a garage, there is a real chance it has hail damage. These storms cover a lot of ground, and the damage pattern can extend well beyond the initial reported location.
Hail damage is not always obvious. On dark-colored vehicles, small dents blend into the paint and are nearly impossible to spot under normal lighting. On light-colored cars and trucks, the dents may only show up when viewed at a specific angle or under direct sunlight.
Many vehicle owners drive around for weeks after a hail storm without realizing their car has dozens of dents. By the time they notice, the storm is old news and they assume it is too late to file a claim. It is not. Comprehensive insurance covers hail damage regardless of when you discover it, as long as the policy was active at the time of the storm.
The only way to know for certain whether your vehicle has hail damage is to have it inspected by a trained PDR technician. A professional inspection takes minutes and costs nothing at Pro PDR.
