Twenty-three inch-plus days since 2015, topping out at a 3.25-inch mPING entry — and the newest one is golf balls on Canyon Creek Drive, September 11, 2026.

The newest entry is September 11, 2026: video of golf-ball hail on Canyon Creek Drive in south Arlington, with tree limbs and power lines down. Arlington covers ninety-nine square miles — bigger than its own five-mile reporting ring — so this table also counts entries the log’s own words place inside the city, and even so it likely undercounts the south side. The practical point: hail here routinely catches cars parked away from home, and the claim belongs to your comprehensive policy no matter whose parking lot it happened in — a game ticket or parking receipt is date-of-loss evidence. We’re 35–45 minutes up SH 360, and you never have to make that drive: free pickup and redelivery for any drivable vehicle across every Arlington zip, free loaner from our 50+ fleet throughout. Published pricing (light hail $750–$1,500, typical full-vehicle claim $2,500–$8,000), direct billing, first $1,000 of the deductible covered on qualifying hail claims. - The log maps where you park: the stadium, the mall, the campus and three interstates are all named in the record itself. - 23 days, topping at 3.25″: tennis balls twice, a hen egg, golf balls — and the newest entry fell September 11, 2026. - Away-from-home hail is still your claim: comprehensive coverage follows the car; receipts and tickets fix the date. - You never make the drive: free pickup, loaner and redelivery across every Arlington zip. 23 days 1″+ Hail Since 2015 3.25″ Baseball-Plus — May 27, 2024 4.9★ 500+ Google Reviews Sep 11 ’26 Golf Balls, Canyon Creek Drive On this page The Visitor's Map The Big Days Arlington's Hail Record Cost Insurance Claims Tents vs. Shops Before & After Getting Here FAQ Areas Map Stadium · Mall · Campus · Interstate ## ARLINGTON’S HAIL LOG READS LIKE A VISITOR’S MAP Most cities’ storm reports are filed from driveways. Arlington’s are filed from destinations. In the middle of the ring’s biggest storm — the baseball-size evening of May 27, 2024 — a public report landed with the location note “near at&t stadium.” The overnight outbreak of June 6, 2018 announced itself with ping-pong hail “near Parks Mall” at 2:47 AM. The morning barrage of March 17, 2016 put dime-size hail on the UTA campus by law-enforcement report while tennis balls fell three miles west. And the interstates thread through everything: I-20 at 360 in the ring’s very first row, I-20 at Collins, I-30 at Fielder three separate times, I-30 at the Bush Turnpike on the Grand Prairie seam. That pattern isn’t a coincidence — it’s Arlington. Millions of visits a year flow through the entertainment district, the mall corridors and the campus, and every one of them ends in an open-air parking space. Hail here has a habit of catching cars away from home: at a game, a concert, a shift, a lecture — places with acres of uncovered asphalt and no garage to run to. Two things follow. Your comprehensive claim doesn’t care whose parking lot the storm found you in — the coverage follows the car. And your ticket stub, parking receipt or venue app history is date-of-loss evidence, fixing your car to a dated row in the table below more precisely than most storm victims can ever manage. Tennis Balls · A Baseball-Plus · A Hen Egg ## THE BIG DAYS — AND THE FRESH ONE Four dates carry the ring’s heavy metal. March 17, 2016 came at breakfast: ping-pong stones at Earle and Perkins at 7:35 AM, tennis-ball hail three miles west at 7:38, an NWS employee’s golf balls in south Arlington, quarters along I-20 at Collins — a full barrage inside twenty-five minutes, aimed at the morning commute. June 6, 2018 came in the dark: the Parks Mall ping-pong at 2:47 AM, tennis-ball hail two miles east of the city center at 2:54, two-inch stones “just before 3 AM” in the log’s own words — Arlington’s share of the overnight outbreak that hit half the metroplex. May 27, 2024 was the crown: a twelve-report evening building from quarters to golf balls to a 3.25-inch “Baseball+” mPING entry at 7:43 PM, two-inch hail at 8:13, and the stadium pin in between. And June 1, 2025 put a hen-egg stone near Collins and Mayfield at 7:41 PM, inside a ten-report half hour. Then there’s the row that’s barely history yet: on the afternoon of September 11, 2026, video showed golf-ball hail falling on Canyon Creek Drive in south Arlington, with tree limbs and power lines down and half-dollar photos minutes later toward Matlock at Eden — the Mansfield side of that afternoon lives on [the Mansfield page](https://dgcollision.com/hail-damage-repair-mansfield/). A storm that recent means undocumented damage is still sitting on hoods across the south side; a raking-light check now beats an inspector’s discovery at trade-in later. The Public Record ## ARLINGTON’S HAIL RECORD — 1″+ DAYS SINCE 2015 Each row is a National Weather Service local storm report filed under Arlington’s name, logged within five miles of the city’s center — a ring that swallows Pantego and Dalworthington Gardens whole and touches the Grand Prairie seam east — or, because Arlington’s ninety-nine square miles outrun any five-mile circle, placed inside the city by the log’s own words: Cooper at Hardisty, “south arlington,” Canyon Creek Drive. Even with that allowance the south side is underrepresented — pins mark witnesses, and witnesses cluster where the crowds are. Date (local) Largest logged stone What the NWS log says Sept 11, 2026 1.75″ — golf ball The newest entry: video of golf-ball hail on Canyon Creek Drive at 2:02 PM, tree limbs and power lines down, an NWS employee’s inch report at 2:00 — south Arlington’s afternoon April 26, 2026 1.00″ — quarter Quarters at 1 AM across the ring’s west side — Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego and southwest Arlington within four minutes June 1, 2025 2.00″ — hen egg A ten-report half hour: ping-pong by Dalworthington Gardens at 7:21 PM, a ham operator’s ping-pong near Collins and Mayfield, and the hen-egg entry at 7:41 May 16, 2025 1.00″ — quarter A delayed social-media report of quarters on the ring’s north side March 30, 2025 1.50″ — ping pong Ping-pong hail near I-30 and Fielder — corrected minutes later to Meadowbrook Drive near I-30 and Cooks; the log kept both March 25, 2025 1.75″ — golf ball An mPING golf-ball entry on the ring’s north edge — the same evening ping-pong hail fell southwest of Irving May 27, 2024 3.25″ — the ring’s max Twelve reports in forty minutes: quarters building to golf balls, “Baseball+ (3.25 in.)” at 7:43 PM, the pin “near at&t stadium” at 7:54, two-inch hail at 8:13 May 22, 2024 1.00″ — quarter Quarters east and northeast of the center in the early evening April 26, 2024 1.75″ — golf ball Quarters in Arlington at 12:11 PM, an mPING golf ball eight minutes later — a lunch-hour storm Sept 24, 2023 1.25″ — half dollar A ham operator’s half-dollars on the Grand Prairie seam at 8:22 PM — the metro’s famous September storm crossing the ring June 13, 2023 1.75″ — golf ball A social-media image of golf-ball hail “in south arlington” at 2:29 PM — the giants’ week, the afternoon after Mansfield’s record night April 28, 2023 1.00″ — quarter A trained spotter’s quarters at Highway 360 and Park Row — the log placing it “in Arlington” from the Grand Prairie side March 16, 2023 1.00″ — quarter Quarters northeast of Pantego and toward the Bedford line, late afternoon April 23, 2021 1.00″ — quarter A trained spotter’s quarters near I-30 and the Bush Turnpike, 1:46 PM May 5, 2020 1.00″ — quarter A 1:20 AM social-media report north of the center, nickels behind it April 28, 2020 1.25″ — half dollar A five-report five minutes at 4:50 AM — Fielder at Arkansas, Garden Oaks at Randol Mill — the morning Mansfield’s ring took 5 AM golf balls April 19, 2020 1.00″ — quarter Quarters at I-30 and Fielder at 10:36 on a Sunday morning — the same storm that touched Irving’s ceiling minutes later April 12, 2020 1.00″ — quarter Social-media reports of quarters “at Cooper/Hardisty St in Arlington” — an Easter Sunday entry the log’s own words place in the city March 28, 2020 1.00″ — quarter An NWS employee’s brief nickel-to-quarter hail, 8:15 AM June 6, 2018 2.50″ — tennis ball Ping-pong “near Parks Mall” at 2:47 AM, tennis-ball hail two miles east of the city center at 2:54, two-inch stones “just before 3 AM” — Arlington’s share of the metro-wide overnight outbreak March 17, 2016 2.50″ — tennis ball The breakfast barrage: ping-pong at Earle and Perkins 7:35 AM, tennis balls three miles west at 7:38, golf balls in south Arlington, dimes on the UTA campus by law-enforcement report, quarters on I-20 at Collins Dec 27, 2015 1.00″ — quarter Quarters in Arlington two days after Christmas — the same off-season storm that dusted Mansfield May 26, 2015 1.00″ — quarter The table’s first row: quarters at Interstate 20 and Highway 360 — the interstates were in this record from day one Twenty-three rows, two tennis-ball days, a hen egg and a baseball-plus — and two entries already in 2026, so nobody has to reach for urgency here.

THE ROUND TRIP IS OURS. Driveway in south Arlington, work lot off 360, apartment near campus — we collect the car from any Arlington zip, hand you a loaner from our 50+ fleet, and redeliver it finished with its claim file. Schedule My Free Pickup The Insurance Side ## CAUGHT AT THE GAME? THE CLAIM CAME HOME WITH YOU Hail is a comprehensive claim — no fault, no points, nothing on a driving record — and it attaches to your car, not to the parking lot it happened in. A hood dented outside the stadium claims exactly like a hood dented in your driveway; the only extra work is fixing the date, and Arlington drivers are unusually well-armed for that: the ticket, the parking receipt, the venue app’s history all pin your car to a dated row in the table above. Tex. Ins. Code §1952.301 makes the repair shop your choice — not your carrier’s, and not the closest network facility to wherever the storm caught you — and 28 TAC §5.7016 bars nonrenewal of a personal auto policy solely over weather claims. The honest premium story lives in the [rates guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/hail-claim-insurance-rates/). The mechanics run entirely at a distance: you open the claim ([the step-by-step guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/texas-hail-insurance-claim/) covers it), we collect the car from home, work or campus anywhere in Arlington — every zip sits well inside our 75-mile free pickup radius — and a [free loaner from the 50+ fleet](https://dgcollision.com/free-loaner-cars/) takes its spot, no deposit, no mileage cap, no rental counter. We photograph the dent map under raking light, bill the carrier directly, and argue [the supplements](https://dgcollision.com/guides/insurance-estimate-final/) with pictures — in our [2026 State Farm files](https://dgcollision.com/guides/state-farm-claims-shop-report/), every hail claim needed at least one. You pay [the deductible once](https://dgcollision.com/guides/do-i-have-to-pay-my-deductible/), first $1,000 covered on qualifying hail claims, and the finished car comes back to your driveway with its file. After The Storm ## THE FLYER UNDER THE WIPER WASN’T PUT THERE BY LUCK A city built on event parking is a canvasser’s dream: thousands of hail-dented cars conveniently gathered in open lots, each one getting a flyer under the wiper before its owner is back from the gate. Add the door-knock wave that sweeps Arlington’s neighborhoods after every metro storm — this is one of the busiest storm-repair markets in Texas — and the pitches pile up fast: the QR code promising “free stadium-lot inspections,” the crew that “just did three houses on your street,” the estimate written to tennis-ball prices for a quarter-size day. The dated table above is the antidote to that last one; for the rest, run everything through [the nine tells in our hail-scams guide](https://dgcollision.com/guides/how-to-spot-hail-scams/), each anchored to the statute that exposes it. Texas hands you three protections worth memorizing: a contract signed at your home can be canceled until midnight of the third business day; a repair contractor is legally barred from negotiating your claim for you; and a deductible “absorbed” inside a padded estimate is insurance fraud under Tex. Penal Code §35.02 — prosecuted under the policyholder’s name. The version that survives an audit is printed on our estimates: [the first $1,000 of qualifying hail-claim deductibles covered](https://dgcollision.com/deductible-assistance/), funded from our own margin, with the carrier billed exactly what the repair costs. Shop-Floor Proof ## AN OPEN-LOT ROOF, ERASED Drag the slider — a customer’s Silverado roof, the panel an open parking lot exposes most, mapped and worked out on our Lewisville floor. Shop-library photos, not from a specific Arlington storm. Before After #### Silverado Roof — PDR, Factory Paint Kept Pictured: a customer’s Chevy Silverado — the roof takes an open lot’s full count, and clean PDR gives it back without a respray Came back to a peppered hood after a game or a shift — on September 11 or any dated row above?

Or Rather — How We Get To You ## ARLINGTON → DG COLLISION If you want to make the drive: SH 360 north past the airport’s west side, SH 183/121 west to I-35E north, exit Main Street in Lewisville — 693 Metro Park Cir, Lewisville, TX 75057, about 35–45 minutes from the entertainment district, a few more from the south side. Open Mon–Fri 8:30–5:30, Sat 10–1. For fender-benders and the rest of bodywork, our [collision repair page](https://dgcollision.com/services/collision-repair/) covers the full shop. But most Arlington customers never see the shop. Every Arlington zip sits well inside our 75-mile free pickup radius: we collect any drivable vehicle from a driveway, a workplace lot or a campus garage, leave a [free loaner from the 50+ fleet](https://dgcollision.com/free-loaner-cars/) in the space — no deposit, no mileage cap — and redeliver the finished car to the same spot with its claim file in the seat. Estimate, adjuster correspondence and supplements all run by phone and photo. First move: a low-light picture texted to (817) 907-2822.

Quarters crossed the ring’s west side — Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego, southwest Arlington — around 1 AM on April 26. Then on the afternoon of September 11, video showed golf-ball hail falling on Canyon Creek Drive in south Arlington, with tree limbs and power lines down and half-dollar photos toward Matlock at Eden minutes later. That September storm is the newest entry on any table we publish; if your car sat outside that afternoon, the damage is still fresh enough to document cleanly, and the claim window is wide open. **Q: What’s the biggest hail ever logged in Arlington?** A: A 3.25-inch “Baseball+” mPING entry at 7:43 PM on May 27, 2024 — the peak of a twelve-report evening that also filed the pin “near at&t stadium” and closed with two-inch hail. Tennis-ball stones (2.50″) have hit twice: three miles west of town during the breakfast barrage of March 17, 2016, and two miles east of the city center at 2:54 AM on June 6, 2018. One ring south, Mansfield holds the regional record outright — a photographed five-inch stone in June 2023 — and stones in that class travel: the giants’ week put golf balls on south Arlington the very next afternoon. **Q: My car got hailed on at a game / concert / Six Flags. Whose insurance pays?** A: Yours — and that’s better news than it sounds. Venue lots aren’t liable for weather, but your own comprehensive coverage follows the car wherever it’s parked, with no fault assigned and nothing touching your driving record. The one thing an away-from-home claim needs is a solid date of loss, and event parking hands you the best evidence there is: the ticket, the parking receipt, the app’s purchase history. Match that to the dated table above and your adjuster has nothing left to question. We document the dent map against the same record when we write the estimate. **Q: Why do Arlington’s hail reports cluster at the stadium, the mall and the campus?** A: Because reports mark witnesses, not weather. Storm entries are filed by people — spotters, emergency managers, fans posting photos — and Arlington’s people concentrate at its destinations, so the log pins the stadium corridor, the Parks Mall and UTA while the residential south side goes quiet. That’s also why this page’s table counts reports the log’s own words place inside the city even when the pin falls outside the five-mile circle: Arlington’s ninety-nine square miles are bigger than the ring that’s supposed to represent them. The honest conclusion cuts one way — the quiet blocks almost certainly took more hail than the record shows. **Q: What does hail repair cost in Arlington?** A: The published table, identical on every DG page: light hail on one or two panels, $750–$1,500; deep dents on a panel or two, $1,500–$4,000; several panels with paint intact, $2,000–$5,000; the typical full-vehicle carrier claim, $2,500–$8,000; severe damage with cracked paint or glass — the tennis-ball and baseball-plus class — $7,500–$15,000+. Cash PDR runs $50–$150 per dent plus R&I trim labor where access needs disassembly. On qualifying hail claims, the first $1,000 of the deductible is covered — printed on the estimate, billed honestly. **Q: You’re 40 minutes from Arlington. Why would I use you instead of a local shop?** A: Because the distance costs you nothing and the round trip is ours. We collect any drivable vehicle from home, work or campus anywhere in Arlington, leave a free loaner from our 50+ fleet in its place — no deposit, no mileage cap, no rental-counter paperwork — and redeliver the finished car with its complete claim file. Between pickup and redelivery, everything runs by phone and photo. What you’re actually choosing is the shop: I-CAR Gold Class, published pricing, direct carrier billing, supplements argued with photographs, and a written lifetime warranty on the workmanship. Texas law (§1952.301) makes that choice yours, not your carrier’s. **Q: Will a hail claim raise my rates or get my policy dropped?** A: The policy is protected by rule: 28 TAC §5.7016 bars a carrier from refusing to renew a personal auto policy solely over weather claims, and hail is comprehensive — fault-free, off the record. Premiums have no such lock, so the honest answer is they can move — but in a storm market as active as Tarrant County, most of what drivers feel is territory-wide repricing that lands on claimants and non-claimants alike, which is why eating repair costs to protect a rate rarely pencils out. The rates guide walks the real levers.
