Wish there was a recording of the National Weather Service talking that guy out of using the largest hailstone in history to make himself a daiquiri.

-96 degrees at the top of that storm? You best believe that it made giant hail!

[@Kingof69ner]

Hail that size will penetrate through your roof through the ceiling.. This happened on my 19th birthday

I talked to some old timers in Enid OK. They told me about bowling ball sized hail in the 80's the central part of the US is wild AF!

Not even close to what was rendered in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, in 1989. That scrawny stone your station displayed herein was under 1/3 the overall volume and approximately half the diameter of stones which I witnessed myself crushing cars and canopies at a convenience store I took shelter at which knocked out the rear windows of 7 hatchbacks as 50 cars tried to get access to the roofs over the gas pumps. One of those stones struck in the form of THREE of the stones the size of the one shown in this video, which three stones were linked together to form one single ‘stone’ mass the size of a near-full mini back pack similar to those college kids wear, though, admittedly one could tell the triad-of-three stone components had once been separate thirds (smaller whole stones) and had merely frozen together before making impact on earth level surfaces. Aside from that one day, I had never seen any stone of ice larger than a golf ball, and have since never personally witnessed anything larger than grapes.

That was high heel sized hail

Sure, right, I absolutely believe some random commenter on KZbin over the experts. Sure I do, absolutely, 100%.

[@PatrickStar-km1dm]

@@ross-carlson He's telling the truth I was one of the 50 cars.

You think that's bad you should have seen the 6 inch diameter hail that fell in Texas in 2021 that's 2 inches bigger then a grapefruit that's the size of a bowling ball

[@jamestaylor4480]

Or the size of a stiletto heel
