BeyondClaim is severe weather intelligence for a single property address. Enter an address and get a confidence-scored history of the severe weather that hit it — drawn from five years of NEXRAD radar plus live events going forward — and export it as a PDF you can attach to a claim file. Built for roofing contractors, adjusters, and appraisers who need defensible evidence, not guesses. "No qualifying events in five years" is a valid, defensible answer, rendered as clearly as a hit. WHAT YOU CAN CHECK AT ANY TEXAS ADDRESS • Hail, wind, and tornado (they co-occur on radar) • Hurricane track data • Winter: snow, ice, and freezing-rain events • Flood: stream-gauge readings and storm-event records HOW IT WORKS 1. Enter a property address — we resolve it to a parcel-level point so the radar match is precise. 2. BeyondClaim runs every storm category against five years of history. 3. Review a confidence-scored timeline of events on an interactive storm map. 4. Export a PDF report for your claim file. HONEST STATUS Public beta, currently Texas only, with five years of radar history and live coverage going forward. Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Florida are planned.
