Roofing in Cumberland County, NC
Cumberland County is centered on Fayetteville and sits in the inland coastal plain of North Carolina. Carolina Trophy Roofs works throughout the county, from Fayetteville and Hope Mills out to the smaller communities that most contractors will not drive to.
Inland eastern counties absorb hurricanes after landfall - weaker wind but far heavier and longer rainfall, on terrain that is often flat and slow to drain.
Water intrusion outpaces wind damage here. Valleys, flashing and low-slope transitions are where the leaks start, and high summer humidity keeps algae and moss growing on north-facing slopes.
Fayetteville saw major Cape Fear River flooding in Hurricane Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018) - Florence crested at 61.58 ft, the second-highest on record behind 68.9 ft in September 1945.
If you need a roof inspected, repaired or replaced in Cumberland County — or you have storm damage and need it tarped today — Carolina Trophy Roofs responds across the county with free estimates and manufacturer-backed workmanship.
Storm history in Cumberland County
What the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has recorded happening over Cumberland County — how much hail, at what size, how recently, and how hard the wind has blown. These are weather records, not an assessment of any building.
NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 117 severe-weather events recorded against Cumberland County between 2016 and 2026: 100 thunderstorm wind events, 16 hail reports and 1 tropical storm event.
Of the 16 hail reports, 12 measured 1.00 in across or larger and 4 measured under an inch. The largest on record is 1.75 in (Golf Ball) on June 5, 2016.
The strongest wind gust in the record is 62 kt (about 71 mph), a measured gust, on July 15, 2024.
The busiest complete year in the record is 2023, with 20 events. The most recent event meeting this dataset's severity definition is a thunderstorm wind gust of 58 kt (about 67 mph) on July 29, 2026. That one is a preliminary report and has not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive.

* The most recent data year is partial. NOAA publishes storm reports on a rolling basis and the final months are still being processed, so a low count in the last year is not evidence of a quiet year. The curated archive behind these counts runs through May 31, 2026; anything later sits in the preliminary block below.
Notable events in the archive
- Jul 15, 2024 -- Thunderstorm Wind (62 kt gust)
- Jan 4, 2023 -- Thunderstorm Wind (50 kt gust) -- $30K property damage reported
- Jul 28, 2020 -- Thunderstorm Wind (50 kt gust) -- $50K property damage reported
- Jun 5, 2016 -- Hail (Golf Ball hail, 1.75 in)
Selected by the dataset’s own rule rather than by editorial choice: the largest hail, the peak wind gust, the strongest tornado and the two costliest events by recorded property damage, deduplicated and newest first. Any dollar figure above is NOAA’s recorded estimate for that one event.
Preliminary — not yet in the permanent archive
25 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Cumberland County since June 1, 2026: 25 thunderstorm wind events. The strongest gust reported is 58 kt (about 67 mph), on June 19, 2026.
Preliminary reports covering 2026-05-31 onward come from National Weather Service storm reports filed as events occur. They have not yet been through the quality-control review that produces the permanent archive, and individual reports may later be revised, combined or withdrawn. NOAA Storm Prediction Center storm reports.
What these counts cover. County figures count events NOAA recorded against a county (hail, thunderstorm wind and tornadoes). High wind, winter storms, ice storms, blizzards, heavy snow, hurricanes and tropical storms are recorded against National Weather Service forecast zones rather than counties, so they are reported at state level instead. Counts reflect events that were observed and reported. NOAA does occasionally record one of those against a county instead, and where it has, the event is counted in the figures above — in Cumberland County that applies to tropical storm events.
“Significant” on this page means an event meeting any one of three tests: hail 1.00 in across or larger, a wind gust of 58 kt or more (the National Weather Service severe thunderstorm criterion), or any tornado. It is a severity definition used by this dataset and is not an official NOAA classification.
The damage figure. $373,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Cumberland County over the period — a county total, not a figure for any one property, any one building or any one claim. NOAA records these figures as estimates made at the time of reporting. They are not adjusted for inflation, and they are frequently absent or zero — a zero means nothing was recorded, not that nothing was damaged.
Source. Archived figures come from the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information Storm Events Database, covering 2016 through May 31, 2026. Anything after that date comes from NOAA Storm Prediction Center preliminary storm reports and is labelled preliminary wherever it appears. Both are US Government works in the public domain.
