The “early spring surprise” of 2026 has left a mark on Green Country. On the evening of Friday, March 6, 2026, a volatile weather system tore through the Tulsa metro, leaving structural damage from North Tulsa to Bixby and Broken Arrow.

While the city’s attention has been focused on the significant roof damage at the Tulsa Tech Peoria Campus and the closures along 36th Street North, many homeowners are just now discovering the “hidden” damage left behind by 80+ mph winds and big hail.

Tulsa Roof Shingle Wind Damage

At Arrowhead Roofing, we’ve been on the ground since Saturday morning helping our neighbors secure their properties. Here is what you need to know about the March 6th storm damage and how to prepare for the additional storms forecasted for this week.

The Impact: North Tulsa, Broken Arrow, Bixby, and Beyond

The storm was a “tale of two cells.” The northern cell produced a suspected tornado that impacted the area between North Peoria Ave. and North Lewis Ave., specifically damaging the Tulsa Tech campus and surrounding residential blocks. Meanwhile, a second “monster” supercell dumped torrential rain and hail on Bixby and Broken Arrow.

4 Signs Your Roof Suffered Damage (Even If It’s Not Leaking Yet)

If you were in the path of the March 6th storm, don’t wait for a ceiling stain to appear. Check for these signs from the ground:

  • Granule Loss: Check your downspouts for “sand” or black grit. Large hail knocks the protective granules off shingles, leaving the asphalt exposed to the sun.
  • “Bruised” Shingles: From a ladder, hail impacts look like dark, soft spots. These weaken the shingle mat and lead to leaks within 6–12 months.
  • Lifted Shingle Seals: High winds (like the 90 mph gusts reported near Pryor) can break the adhesive seal of a shingle. Even if it looks flat, it is no longer waterproof.
  • Dented Metal Accents: Look at your gutters, soft metals, and box vents. If there are dents on your vents, there is almost certainly damage to your shingles.

Don’t Wait: More Storms Forecasted for Tuesday, March 10

Meteorologists are already monitoring a new system for Tuesday night, March 10th. For homes with existing March 6th damage, a second round of wind and rain could turn a minor repair into a major interior restoration project. Water entering through a compromised roof can lead to mold and drywall failure in just 48 hours.
