Storm Recon Group

Our Mission

🌪️ OUR MISSION

Storm Recon Group isn’t just a storm-chasing lead company—we’re a bridge between the chaos left by nature and the clarity needed to rebuild. Our mission is threefold: to protect homeowners, empower A-rated roofing professionals, and support the science of storm forecasting and recovery.

🧱 FOR OUR CLIENTS

We build pipelines, not just deliver leads.

When you partner with Storm Recon, you’re not buying cold data—you’re getting:

  • Pre-qualified, high-intent leads delivered in real time
  • Homeowners who are expecting your call or visit
  • Clear field notes, visual confirmations, and 90-minute inspection coordination
  • A partner who understands urgency, integrity, and the art of local trust

We work only with licensed, insured, and top-rated contractors because the quality of our leads depends on the quality of your work.

Our field teams don’t just knock doors—they carry your reputation to the front step.

🏡 FOR HOMEOWNERS

You’ve just been through a storm. The last thing you need is another one at your door.

Storm Recon exists to help homeowners make informed, confident decisions about their homes. We’re not salespeople—we’re field scouts, documenting real damage and offering free, no-pressure inspections through vetted, highly rated roofing companies.

We work with contractors who:

  • Know how to translate confusing insurance paperwork
  • Show up clean, courteous, and credentialed
  • Understand the difference between rot and storm damage
  • Know the right words to say—and avoid—to help your claim succeed

Your home deserves more than a quick patch. We’re here to help you protect its value with speed, transparency, and the right team.

đź“Š FOR DATA PARTNERS & RESEARCHERS

We’re more than a service—we’re a system of record.

Storm Recon actively catalogs and geo-tags storm data in the field, which supports:

  • Insurance actuarial modeling
  • Scientific research on storm intensity and impact
  • Local emergency planning and response
  • Forecasting agencies and climate trend analysts

We share anonymized, aggregated data with:

  • NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)
  • National Weather Service (NWS)
  • CoreLogic
  • Verisk Analytics
  • Academic institutions and research grant programs

Storm Recon also actively applies for and participates in funded data-sharing programs, enabling us to:

  • Expand coverage
  • Hire local data collectors
  • Increase national storm impact awareness

When we collect roof, structure, and hail impact data, we aren’t just helping today’s recovery—we’re helping prevent tomorrow’s disaster.

🧭 WHO WE ARE

Storm Recon Group was founded by Cyle O’Donnell, a former international documentary filmmaker and journalism professor who now applies the same principles of investigation, truth-telling, and service to storm damage response.

We don’t work for insurers.
We don’t work for shady fly-by-nights.
We work for truth, timing, and trust.
