Weather Channel just had pictures of a hail stone that was 7 1/2 inches wide from a recent storm in Aberdeen SD. Wow....that is amazing.
 
r u kidding me? have you seen from friday night 7.22.10 in vivian, sd.. 17 inches around hail.

i was at the cabin in Slayton, MN (which i dont get to do much when i was a LEO) and on my way back, a sunflower field was left but stems... leaves were gone. cars were bashed out by over sized softball size hail. some report that the hail came right through the roof into their house. ill see if i can find that picture.


edit!!!

got the pictures. im surprised weather channel didnt post this...

uguide you got that right. heck anyone getting hit by that size hail is toast, terminal velocity. birdman thanks for sharing the pics. wow glad i wasnt driving thought that storm. did people die because of this storm? if not thank god.

my dad, in the early 60's, got knocked out, driving though nebraska in a hail storm. hail was softball size. not 17", thats real big hail. It did total the car, and, caused my dad hospital time. wow 17", duck and cover.:):eek:
 
as far as i know. no one got hurt. no news mentioned anything about livestock. however vivian is pretty close to I-90 interstate, lot of livestocks are miles away from the interstate.
 
Man that is some big hail. I have never seen hail that big in my life. To think I lived in those areas most of my life...........Bob
