    Licensing for roofers working in Memphis

    Tennessee does not license roofers as a trade at every job size. A state contractor credential becomes necessary once a project reaches $25,000, and it is issued by the Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors.

    Below that figure a Memphis roofer needs no state license — but the threshold is about state licensure only. It never exempts the work from a permit and an inspection through Shelby County or the city.

    Storm history in Shelby County

    Memphis has no weather record of its own — NOAA records severe weather against counties, and the listings on this page put Memphis in Shelby County. These are weather records for the whole county, not an assessment of any building in Memphis.

    NOAA's Storm Events Database holds 255 severe-weather events recorded against Shelby County between 2016 and 2026: 188 thunderstorm wind events, 66 hail reports and 1 tornado.

    Of the 66 hail reports, 45 measured 1.00 in across or larger and 21 measured under an inch. The largest on record is 2.00 in (Baseball) on January 25, 2021.

    The strongest wind gust in the record is 78 kt (about 90 mph), an estimated gust, on March 9, 2017. One tornado is recorded in the county over the same period.

    The busiest complete year in the record is 2023, with 67 events. The most recent event meeting this dataset's severity definition is a thunderstorm wind gust of 60 kt (about 69 mph) on August 22, 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

    • Jun 25, 2023 -- Thunderstorm Wind (70 kt gust) -- $2.00M property damage reported
    • Jan 25, 2021 -- Hail (Baseball hail, 2.00 in)
    • Oct 21, 2019 -- Tornado (EF1) -- $1.50M property damage reported
    • May 27, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (70 kt gust) -- $9.00M property damage reported
    • Mar 9, 2017 -- Thunderstorm Wind (78 kt gust) -- $150K property damage reported

    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

    7 preliminary storm reports have been filed for Shelby County since June 1, 2026: 7 thunderstorm wind events. The strongest gust reported is 60 kt (about 69 mph), on August 22, 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.

    “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. $18,379,500 is the sum of NOAA’s recorded property-damage estimates across every event in Shelby 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.
