Plenty cars damaged as well in the area

More storms expected the weekend, hopefully no more hail!

We don't really get such huge hail that often, but it has become more common the past few years
1997 we had out first huge hail the size of tennis balls,
the last three years it was between golf ball and tennis ball size

It is quite scary experiencing it , really hope the weather calms down a bit

Unfortunately hail of that size and larger is a yearly occurrence here on the High Plains of Texas. I've seen corn over seven feet tall reduced to a stump of a few inches in a matter of minutes. Needless to say it's extremely hard on cars and houses...

Yeah, its a scary sight when those frozen balls come down from the heavens, hundreds of cars and houses were damaged, some cars had hail stones go right through the roof as well
