The Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) is currently in the midst of continuing a major multi-faceted research effort to study hailstorms with the goal of reducing property losses. State Farm is a sponsor and participated in the field research. As part of this effort, IBHS is studying hailstorms in the Central Plains region in an attempt to better understand the characteristics of damaging hail, which depends on size, density and hardness of hailstones. Researchers deployed an unmanned camera probe to capture high-definition video of hail falling within storms to study hailstone trajectories and spatial coverage. The probe contained three GoPro Hero 3 cameras.
