Roofing in Jenison
Jenison sits in a county whose NCEI hail record for Jul 2024 to Jun 2026 is 14 reports of 1 inch or larger on one day, the largest 2.75 in. The same pull shows 12 wind reports of 50 knots or more on 6 days (largest 87 kt) and 2 tornado reports. Those hail reports all fall on one day, which does not make a pattern, but if a roofer cites hail, you can ask which date.
