Roofing in Hertford County, NC
Hertford County is centered on Winton and sits in the inland coastal plain of North Carolina. Carolina Trophy Roofs works throughout the county, from Ahoskie and Murfreesboro 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.
If you need a roof inspected, repaired or replaced in Hertford 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.

* 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.

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.
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.
“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. $247,000 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Hertford 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.
