Green Bay Hail Storm, June 24, 2026: What Vehicle Owners Should Do Now

On the evening of Wednesday, June 24, 2026, a severe storm swept through Green Bay and Brown County. Hail came down heavily enough on the city's west side that it covered the ground, and some residents cleared their sidewalks and driveways with snow shovels. The Green Bay Metro Fire Department handled dozens of emergency calls in just a few hours as streets flooded and vehicles stalled across the city.

If your vehicle was parked outside anywhere in Green Bay, Ashwaubenon, Howard, De Pere, Allouez, or the surrounding Brown County area that evening, there is a real chance it took hail damage, even if it looks fine at a glance.

Hail damage is easy to miss

Hail dents are shallow, spread across horizontal panels, and often invisible unless the light hits them at the right angle. The most common spots are the hood, roof, trunk lid, and the tops of the fenders. Walk around your vehicle in low-angle sunlight, or run your hand slowly across the hood and roof. If you feel small dimples, you have hail damage.

Small dents are still worth fixing. Documented hail damage that goes unrepaired can reduce your vehicle's resale and trade-in value, and an insurer can factor prior unrepaired damage into future claims.

Your insurance almost certainly covers this

Hail damage falls under the comprehensive portion of your auto policy, not collision. That matters for two reasons. First, comprehensive claims do not raise your rates the way at-fault accident claims can, because hail is classified as an act of nature. Second, your out-of-pocket cost is usually just your comprehensive deductible. Insurance covers the rest.

You also have the legal right to choose your own repair shop in Wisconsin. Your insurer can recommend shops, but the choice is yours.

What about the flooding?

The June 24 storm also flooded streets and stalled vehicles around Green Bay. If your vehicle took on water, that is also a comprehensive claim, but it is a different type of damage with different urgency. Water damage gets worse by the day. If your vehicle was caught in floodwater, contact your insurer right away and do not attempt to start the engine.

What to do this week

1. Inspect your vehicle in good light and photograph anything you find, along with the date.
2. Call your insurance company and open a comprehensive claim for hail damage. Reference the June 24, 2026 storm.
3. Get a free professional inspection. We catch damage that owners miss, and a thorough inspection protects you from settling a claim short.
4. Schedule the repair. Paintless dent repair removes hail dents without repainting, keeps your factory finish intact, and is the method insurers prefer for hail claims.

After a storm this size, local repair capacity fills up fast. The sooner your claim is filed and your inspection is done, the sooner you are on the schedule.
