The Plain Answer for Guadalupe County
Hail reaches Guadalupe County on about 1.5 days a year, the fewest of the four counties. NOAA has reports on 17 separate days across the eleven years, and 8 of those years had any. Three years, 2015, 2017 and 2019, had none.
Wind is the heavier story. NOAA has 58 thunderstorm wind reports against 39 hail reports, and 22 of the wind reports came in 2019, a year with no hail report at all. A homeowner in this county should weigh both, since in 2019 the wind alone put the year in the record.

What About Thunderstorm Wind in Guadalupe County?
Wind reports are the larger column here, and the 2019 row is the outlier: 22 reports in one year against a usual 4 or so. The top gust across all 58 reports was 70 knots, about 81 miles per hour.
Wind works on a roof differently. It goes for an edge or an opening first, such as the drip edge, the ridge cap, flashing or a pipe boot, and a loose fastener gives it something to pull on.

What Does a Wind Check Add to a Guadalupe County Roof Visit?
A Red Roan evaluation checks the places wind goes first: the drip edge, the ridge cap, flashing at walls and chimneys, and pipe boots. Wind-lifted flashing does not always show on a ceiling, because a leak seldom appears directly under the opening.
If water is already getting in, Red Roan's leak work follows it back to the point of entry before repairing anything. The 5-year workmanship warranty covers the repair itself, and the written report records what was found and where.
The full process is on the storm damage repair services and free roof evaluation process pages, and the free hail inspection and claim guide walks through the Texas claim steps.

About 1.5 days a year, the lowest of the four counties. NOAA's Storm Events record shows hail reported on 17 different days in Guadalupe County from 2015 through 2025, with 8 of the 11 years having at least one report.
Does Guadalupe County get more wind than hail?
By report count, yes. NOAA has 58 thunderstorm wind reports and 39 hail reports for Guadalupe County from 2015 through 2025. It is the only one of the four counties where wind reports come out ahead.

2 inches, reported twice on 3 May 2021. 28 of 39 hail reports were an inch or larger, and 2 were two inches. Larger stones have fallen in the neighboring counties.
Is a roof check worth it after a windstorm with no hail?
It can be. Edges, ridge caps, flashing and pipe boots are where wind starts, and from the ground the damage can look like nothing. A free evaluation climbs up, photographs those spots and puts what it finds in the written report.
Does Red Roan Construction work in Seguin, Schertz and Cibolo?
Yes. All three are in Guadalupe County and each has its own page on this site. The check costs nothing, the report comes with photographs, and installed work carries a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Where These Numbers Come From
Hail and thunderstorm wind rows come from the NOAA Storm Events Database detail files for 2015 through 2025, filtered to Texas and saved in this site's repository. A report counts for Guadalupe County when NOAA files it under that county. A hail day is a calendar date with at least one hail report in the county, so the day count is lower than the report count. Hail sizes are the reported stone diameter in inches, and wind speeds are in knots, as NOAA records them. Reports come from spotters, emergency managers, the public and the weather service, so they follow where people are as well as where hail fell. Downloaded 17 October 2026. A recompute script re-reads the saved file and fails the site build checks if a printed number changes.
