The Turtle Creek Drive Hail Report: Stones Over an Inch
Missouri City has one of the most specific hail reports from the night of April 30, 2026. The National Weather Service storm report log lists, just after midnight on May 1, a report near the intersection of Turtle Creek Dr and Point Clear Dr of a large volume of nickel size hail, with the largest stones over 1 inch but under 1.5 inches.
| Time (CDT) | Size | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 12:05 am | over 1 inch, under 1.5 inches | Near Turtle Creek Dr and Point Clear Dr, Missouri City (Fort Bend County) |
Report text and time: SPC storm reports, April 30, 2026, UTC shifted to CDT.
Hail in that range can bruise and crack shingles without leaving damage you can see from the ground. A few minutes earlier, 1.00 to 1.50 inch hail was reported in the First Colony area of Sugar Land. If you live nearby, a free roof inspection will tell you whether your roof took damage.
A Fort Bend County Roof Sits Outside the TWIA Tier
Homeowners in Pearland, Manvel and League City deal with the Texas windstorm inspection program, because Brazoria and Galveston are first tier coastal counties. Missouri City is different. It is in Fort Bend County, which is not on the Texas Department of Insurance first tier list, so the TWIA windstorm inspection rule for re-roofs does not apply here by county.
That does not mean anything goes. Your own insurance company may have its own requirements for a new roof, so ask your agent before the job starts. The TDI list is on the TDI windstorm program page.
Permits Before the Tear-Off
Check with the City of Missouri City permit office before a roof comes off, so you know what it needs for your address. Ask your roofer who is pulling the permit, and do not make the final payment until any required inspection is done.
Sienna: Where the Guidelines Name Shingle Colors
Sienna's published property modification guidelines are unusually specific about roofs. In plain words, they say:
- If your builder installed a colored shingle roof, such as red, green, blue, yellow or orange, those colors are no longer permitted. When the roof is replaced, it must use standard roof colors such as charcoal or weathered wood.
- Roof tiles made of clay or pre-colored concrete are allowed with Reviewer approval, if they complement the home's style and color.
- Wood shingles of any kind are not permitted.
- Rooftop equipment must be painted to match the roof.
Some Sienna sections have supplemental guidelines, so read the version for your neighborhood: Sienna property modification and maintenance guidelines (PDF).
Two Sides of Town, Two Roof Eras
Missouri City's housing spans decades. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey shows the difference between ZIP codes:
| Missouri City ZIP | Half the homes were built before | Original roof age if never replaced |
|---|---|---|
| 77459 | 2004 | About 22 years |
| 77489 | 1986 | About 40 years |
From the Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2024 five-year release; ZIP-wide medians.
In the older parts of town, a house built in the 1980s has likely had its roof replaced at least once, and the decking underneath deserves a look when the roof comes off. In Sienna and the newer neighborhoods, many original roofs are reaching their first replacement, and the April 2026 hail may move that up. Our shingle roofing page compares the main shingle types. Nearby, we also serve Sugar Land, south and southwest Houston and Pearland.
Murphy Road, Texas Parkway and the Toll Road: Missouri City's Map
Missouri City was incorporated in 1956 about twenty miles southwest of downtown Houston, and it is mostly in Fort Bend County with a small piece in Harris County. Texas Parkway (FM 2234), Murphy Road (FM 1092) and Cartwright Road (FM 3345) are long-established city corridors, while the Fort Bend Toll Road, SH 6, US 90A and Beltway 8 tie it to the region. Its neighborhoods include Quail Valley, Lake Olympia, Lakes of Brightwater, Sienna Plantation and Riverstone.
The city has been zoned since 1981, so apartments are a rare find and most homes are single-family houses, many under HOA rules. Its ZIP codes include 77459, 77489 and 77545, and the build years in the table below show how far apart its older and newer neighborhoods are.

From Quail Valley to Sienna: Your Roof Questions
Did hail hit Missouri City on April 30, 2026?
Yes, according to the storm reports. Just after midnight, a large volume of nickel size hail was reported near Turtle Creek Dr and Point Clear Dr, with the largest stones over 1 inch and under 1.5 inches. If you are near there, have your roof looked at.
Do Missouri City re-roofs need a TDI windstorm inspection?
No, not by county. Fort Bend County, where most of Missouri City sits, is not one of TDI's first tier coastal counties. Your own insurer can still set roof requirements, so check with your agent before the job.
Who do I ask about a re-roof permit in Missouri City?
Check with the City of Missouri City permit office before work starts. Ask your roofer who is pulling the permit, and do not make the final payment until any required inspection is done.
Sienna homeowners: what roof colors are allowed?
Sienna's published guidelines say builder-installed red, green, blue, yellow or orange shingle roofs must convert to standard colors such as charcoal or weathered wood when the roof is replaced. Clay or pre-colored concrete tile is allowed with Reviewer approval, and wood shingles are not permitted.
How old are most Missouri City roofs?
It depends on the side of town. The median year built is 2004 in ZIP 77459 and 1986 in ZIP 77489. Age is on your closing papers; condition takes an inspection.
