Largest hail storms near Swift Trail Junction
Oct 8, 2016 · 2.5 in (tennis ball) · Safford (5 mi from Swift Trail Junction)
National Weather Service description (English): One inch diameter hail began around 2300 LST as a large thunderstorm moved through Safford. The storm eventually produced hail up to 2.5 inches in diameter. Homes, vehicles and property were damaged throughout Safford and Solomon. Copious amounts of smaller hail fell for 20 minutes in some locations, causing accumulations of up to 6. In many spots, the hail did not melt overnight and was still piled up on roads, sidewalks and yards the following morning. In addition, where hail broke windows, rain and additional hail entered buildings causing water damage. This caused some schools in Safford to remain closed for two weeks until repairs were completed. The hailstorm also wiped out around 4000Sep 5, 2021 · 1 in (quarter) · Safford (7 mi from Swift Trail Junction)
