The June 11, 2023 Hailstorm in Flower Mound, and What It Means for a Roof Today
What was reported, by whom, where the reports stop, and how to work out whether your own roof has been replaced since.
What Was Reported
When: Sunday, June 11, 2023, around 8 to 8:30 p.m.
Where: Lantana, Flower Mound, Highland Village and Lewisville, according to the local newspaper.
How large: "as large as baseballs" in that report; 4.25 inches near Double Oak in National Weather Service reports relayed by CBS Texas.

The Gazette wrote the next morning that the storm caused damage to some homes and vehicles and that the Lantana golf course was littered with hail. NBC DFW published photographs sent in by viewers the same night, with captions placing golf-ball to baseball-size stones in Flower Mound, Double Oak, Lantana, Highland Village, Lewisville and Argyle. Viewer captions are not measurements, and they are mentioned here only to show how wide the reports were.

What Is Not Known
It is worth being plain about the limits, because roofing advertising after a storm rarely is.
- No count of damaged or replaced roofs in Flower Mound was found, and none is given on this site.
- No dollar figure for the storm's damage was found.
- The 4.25-inch figure belongs to a location near Double Oak. It is not a measurement for any Flower Mound street.
- The federal storm report archive for the date was not read when this page was written, so the newspaper and television reports above are the sources, not the archive itself.
Hail swaths are narrow and uneven. Two houses a half mile apart can come out of the same storm with very different roofs.
Why It Still Matters in a 1990s Town
About 40 of every 100 Flower Mound homes were built between 1990 and 1999, and another 15 in the 1980s. By 2023 many of those roofs were already old. An aged shingle has lost some of its granules and flexibility, and it tends to take a hailstone worse than a new one does.
After the storm, the town's roofs stopped being one group. Some were torn off and replaced that summer. Some were repaired. Some were looked at and left. And some were never looked at, because the owner saw nothing from the driveway. The house next door and yours may now be twenty years apart at the roof line even though they were framed in the same month.

Finding Out Which Group Your Roof Is In
| Where to look | What it can tell you |
|---|---|
| Closing documents | A seller's disclosure, a roofing invoice or a transferable warranty will usually carry a date. |
| The previous owner or their agent | Often the fastest answer, and they may know which company did the work. |
| The Town of Flower Mound | One local real estate guide, written in October 2025, lists roof replacement among the jobs that need a town permit. If that is right, a replacement should have left a record. Ask Building Inspections. |
| Your insurer | Your own policy file shows any claim paid on the address while you have owned it. |
| The roof | Granule loss, brittle sealant strips, the shingle pattern and the condition of vents and flashing let a contractor estimate age. |
This site could not read the town's own permit pages, so it does not state a Flower Mound permit rule as fact. Confirm with the town before any work starts.
If It Was Replaced in 2023
A roof put on in a busy storm season deserves one calm look a couple of years later. Crews were stretched that summer across the whole county. Things worth checking:
- Pipe boots, wall flashing and valleys, where leaks start on a roof whose shingles are fine.
- Whether attic intake and exhaust vents were kept, added or covered over. See attic ventilation.
- Whether siding, fascia and trim that were hit the same night were ever dealt with. See fascia, soffit and trim.
- Which shingle went on, and whether it carries an impact rating. See impact-rated shingles.
If It Was Not
Then the roof has been through a baseball-size hail report and at least two more North Texas summers. That does not mean it has failed. It means the useful next step is a person on the roof with a camera, not a guess from the curb. The hail damage inspection page describes what that visit covers and what a hail mark does and does not look like.
Questions About the Storm
How big was the hail in Flower Mound on June 11, 2023?
The Cross Timbers Gazette reported hail as large as baseballs in Flower Mound and three neighboring communities. CBS Texas, citing National Weather Service reports, listed 4.25-inch hail near Double Oak, which borders Flower Mound to the north. This site found no National Weather Service measurement taken inside Flower Mound itself, so it does not print one.
Does every roof that was under the storm need replacing?
No. Hail varies street by street, and slope, tree cover and the age of the shingle all change the result. Some roofs were replaced, some repaired, and some took no damage that matters. An inspection of your roof is the only way to know which.
How can I tell whether my roof was replaced after the storm?
Look for a roofing invoice or warranty in your closing documents, ask the seller or their agent, or ask the Town of Flower Mound whether a roofing permit is on file for the address. A contractor can also estimate a roof's age from granule loss, sealant condition and the style of the shingle.
Is it too late to do anything about 2023 damage?
For the roof itself, no: damage can be repaired whenever it is found. Whether an insurance policy still responds to an older storm depends on your policy's deadlines, and that is a question for your insurer or agent. This site takes no part in claims.
