The Problem

After the May 2025 St. Louis hail-and-tornado outbreak, a multi-tenant commercial roof showed widespread damage — but attributing everything to wind wouldn’t survive scrutiny. The mechanics had to be separated quantitatively.

What TCE Did

• Computed actual wind uplift (26–31 psf) against ≈72 psf design capacity — ruling out a design-level windstorm
• Attributed ≈196 LF of displaced parapet metal to cyclic fatigue of hail-weakened components — a defensible, nuanced causation
• Produced a standalone NOAA meteorological report computing distance-to-property for every severe event over six years
