One stone. That was the country's entire hail ledger worth mentioning on the 29th — a 1.75-incher at Rockvale in Fremont County, Colorado, with a single inch of ice out in Arizona behind it. Seventy-six reports on the board and exactly two of them involved hail.
The rest was wind, spread about as wide as a wind day gets. South Dakota carried the bulk — 31 reports through the Badlands country, peaking at 82 mph at Midland with more at Philip, Vale, and the Rapid City airport. Far to the west, Utah put up 15 of its own along the Wasatch Front, including three separate gusts over 70 at Hooper and a 72 in Salt Lake City itself.
Colorado's wind worked the plains east of Denver through Strasburg, Bennett, and Wiggins, and Wyoming added a handful around Gillette and Sundance. The day's two tornadoes had nothing to do with any of that: one at Glenwood in Chicago's south suburbs, the other at South Edmeston in central New York.
The Rockvale stone earns a look even standing alone. An inch and three-quarters is right where a hail claim stops being an argument — it bruises the mat and shears granules across a whole slope instead of in a few spots. But one cell over one small town means no adjuster is working the area and no truck is going door to door reminding anybody. If you're down that way, nobody else is going to tell you to check.
For crews there's honestly not much here. A day this wind-heavy strings its damage thin across half a dozen states with no corridor worth running. Where the year's hail is genuinely concentrated stays on the Top States for Hail board. The full state list runs below — find your row and see whether the 29th put anything near you at all.
