The southern-Plains wind that showed up on the 25th hung around for June 26th, just smaller and more scattered — 96 reports, 63 of them wind. The Plains did the loud part again. But the day's single biggest hailstone fell about as far from the Plains as you can get.
The hard wind stayed down south. Oklahoma took the day's top gust — 96 mph at Fairmont — along with 2-inch hail at Guthrie just north of the city, and Texas ran the bigger pile, 21 reports mostly wind down the Panhandle, with its own 2-inch stone at Mobeetie. That's the kind of gust that lays a tree across a roof and lifts shingle courses on anything already tired.
Now the odd one. The biggest hail in the country on the 26th wasn't in Oklahoma or Colorado — it was a 2-inch stone at Contoocook, New Hampshire, with 1.5-inch hail across the line in upstate New York near Belleville. New England roofs don't get built with hail in mind the way Plains roofs quietly are, so a 2-inch hit up there does real, unexpected damage — split shingles, dented gutters, cracked skylights — on houses whose owners have never once thought to look up after a storm.
If that's you in southern New Hampshire or upstate New York, this is the rare week your roof actually earns the once-over. Two-inch hail is well past cosmetic, and the claim clock starts the day it falls, not the day you notice the stain. Grab a few dated photos now — even from the ground — and have someone walk the slopes before the next rain blurs whose storm did what. Out west, Colorado spun up the day's little tornado cluster, three of them around Cheyenne Wells, so the eastern plains caught a wind-and-rotation look on top of everything the week already piled on them.
For the crews, the work splits oddly this time: the Oklahoma–Texas Panhandle wind line where the damage is freshest, and that out-of-nowhere New Hampshire–New York hail pocket nobody else is going to be canvassing.
