Leon Valley storm history
The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Storm Events Database uses "Leon Vly" as a reference point for many northwest Bexar County reports. Notable entries include:
- March 28, 2000: a short-lived tornado northwest of Leon Valley preceded by 2.75-inch hail that caused widespread damage to cars in Leon Valley.
- May 6, 2001: the hail-and-wind storm NOAA describes as one of the most devastating in Bexar County history, with damage worst in northwest San Antonio.
- April 12, 2016: 3.5-inch hail near Bandera Rd. and Huebner Rd. in Leon Valley and 2-inch hail near Bandera Rd. and Guilbeau Rd., part of the storm widely reported as one of the costliest hailstorms in Texas history.
- June 13, 2018: estimated 75 mph winds uprooted a tree, knocked down wood fencing, and collapsed a metal awning.
- March 21, 2024: tennis ball size hail in northwest San Antonio and 2-inch hail again near Bandera Rd. and Guilbeau Rd.
- March 31, 2025: a 75 mph gust measured by a trained spotter near SeaWorld.
Flooding matters here too. On July 6, 2021, NOAA records several homes near Heath Road and Dhaka View flooded, some with 1 to 2 feet of water inside. During Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, Leon Valley recorded 4.5 inches of snow, the highest total in the county report. Search more events near your address with our storm lookup tool.
Leon Valley properties and common claims
Much of Leon Valley's housing is established single-family neighborhoods with slab-on-grade foundations, brick or stone veneer, and composition shingle roofs, along with commercial strip centers and offices along Bandera Road and Huebner Road. Mature trees are common, which means wind claims often involve tree impact as well as roof damage.
Claims we commonly help with include:
- Hail damage claims for roofs, siding, windows, gutters, and AC units.
- Wind damage claims involving fallen trees, fences, awnings, and lifted shingles.
- Commercial property claims for flat and low-slope roofs on retail and office buildings.
- Water damage from storm-related leaks and freeze-related pipe breaks. Rising floodwater is a separate matter usually handled by a flood policy.
Because Leon Valley has been hit by large hail several times in recent years, many claims raise the question of which storm caused which damage. Insurers may attribute damage to an earlier storm or to wear. Dated photos, maintenance records, and the NOAA reports above can help address that question.

Frequently Asked Questions
Was Leon Valley hit by the April 2016 hailstorm?
Yes. NOAA records list 3.5-inch hail near Bandera Rd. and Huebner Rd. in Leon Valley on April 12, 2016, and 2-inch hail near Bandera Rd. and Guilbeau Rd. the same day. Hail reports show what was observed nearby; an inspection is still needed to document damage at a specific property.
My roof was replaced after 2016. Can it be damaged again?
Yes. NOAA lists additional large hail in and around Leon Valley since then, including tennis ball size hail in 2020 and 2024. Each storm is a separate date of loss, so dated photos and storm records help separate new damage from old.
Who issues building permits in Leon Valley?
Leon Valley is its own city with its own permit and inspection office, separate from the City of San Antonio. Confirm requirements with the City of Leon Valley before repairs begin.
What does a public adjuster cost?
Fees are disclosed in a written contract before any work begins; Texas law caps public adjuster compensation at 10% of the insurance settlement. You may rescind within 72 hours of signing.
