You get a list of dates with the number of hail and wind reports on each, the largest hail size, the peak gust, and how close the nearest report was. Pick a date and order the full report from there.

What this is not

Being clear about the boundary is part of the product. A report that overstates what it is gives the other side something to pull on.

Not an engineering or forensic meteorological report.
Not a certified or testifying expert report, and not prepared for Daubert, Frye, or FRE 702.
No opinion on causation, on damage, or on coverage.
Storm reports reflect the location where the observation was made — a nearby report does not by itself establish damage at the parcel.
If your date of loss is within roughly four months, NCEI has not published it yet, so there will be no Certified rows. That is a publication lag, not missing data, and the report says so.
