“A member of the public called to inform us about hail damage to their pistachio crop. They estimated that the hail stone sizes were generally around 0.75-1.0 inch stones but that they also varied greatly in size as it fell. After the hail ended they went to check on their pistachio crop and found out that they lost all of it. These trees were about 30 years old and sustained damaged.”

Provenance
Final counts: NCEI Storm Events Database, file vintage c20260527, hail events with recorded magnitude ≥1.00″ and point coordinates within 25 miles of the Sacramento anchor. NWS records are point and path observations. The absence of a nearby report does NOT prove that no hail fell at this address — it means no observation was logged nearby. A report of nearby hail documents the event; it does not by itself prove damage to a specific structure. Spotted an error? Email the address on our terms page and we correct against the source.
