Storm Report: Where Hail and Wind Hit, October 16 to October 22, 2026
This is the Storm Sentry AI weekly recap for October 16 to 22, and the week belonged to Arizona: 56 reports of hail 1 inch and larger, topped by 3-inch hail reported north of Page Springs and southwest of Rio Rico on Thursday, October 22.
Every number here comes from preliminary storm reports, so counts can still change. Here's where it hit:
Arizona: 56 hail reports of 1 inch and up. Largest 3.00 inches, 5 miles north of Page Springs (Yavapai County) and 5 miles southwest of Rio Rico (Santa Cruz County), both Oct 22. 2-inch hail reported near Mesa and Glendale on Oct 21. Peak gust 73 mph, 3 miles southeast of Safford, Oct 22. An emergency manager reported 46 structures damaged in Heber-Overgaard on Oct 21.

Elsewhere: wind damage reports in New Jersey (4), Massachusetts (3), California (2), Ohio (1) and Connecticut (1), mostly trees and wires down.
If you work Phoenix, Flagstaff, Prescott and the Verde Valley, or the Show Low and Heber area, spend this weekend driving those ZIPs and seeing for yourself what's out there before you knock.
Next week, line up your crews and your jobsite setup so the first jobs you land on a street look like a real company's. The neighbors are watching that first job.
