Eudora, KS · Douglas County
Roof inspections in Eudora.
Census figures in a 2019 city planning report put the median year Eudora homes were built at 1993, newer than the Lawrence metro (1986) or Kansas (1973).
The short answer
Eudora lists roofing among its building permit types, and every contractor working under a city permit must be licensed by the City of Eudora.
Since 2016, National Weather Service reports show hail 1 inch or larger within 5 miles of central Eudora on 2 days and gusts of 58 mph or more on 15 days. The largest hail reported there was 2.5 inches on August 24, 2016.
A free, no-obligation inspection comes from an independent roofing partner that serves Eudora, and checking storm history doesn’t file an insurance claim.
Eudora was founded in 1857, and its older sections sit between K-10 and the Kansas River, which lies at the northern edge of the city limits.
Between 2000 and 2010, Eudora’s population grew by more than 42%, according to the same report. Start with your address to see how many significant storms are on record nearby, then decide whether you want a free inspection from one local roofing partner.
Storm record for Eudora since 2016
NOAA/NWS storm reports through November 10, 2026.
These are records for the wider area, not for your address. A storm on record doesn’t mean your roof was damaged, and it doesn’t mean your insurance company will accept that storm or date. That’s why an inspection is worth having: a roofing professional looks at the roof itself.

The full method and source
Several reports on the same day count once.
Our storm records come from NOAA radar estimates and National Weather Service reports. Radar can miss or misjudge hail, and a report marks a single spot, so records can be incomplete. Treat them as a starting point, not a verdict about your roof.
Radar hail days use NOAA’s radar estimates (MRMS) of 1 inch or larger over the same area, counted only when the Weather Service also logged hail within 15 miles that day. 2026 numbers come from preliminary reports and can change.
Source: NOAA / National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center storm reports and NOAA MRMS radar hail estimates, retrieved November 11, 2026. Data through November 10, 2026; 2026 reports are preliminary and can still change. Compiled by Roof Inspectors from public-domain NOAA data. How storm data works.
On our hail-by-place comparison (5-mile circles, 2016–2025), Eudora is in the lower band.
