Did you get any hail this afternoon? TV 12 reported 1.5 in hail in your neck of the woods. Stay safe.

Yes we did. I got some pictures of it too. Quarter sized here at the house (maybe a little larger), but there was a public report of Golf Ball sized hail somewhere in the area.
Hail compared to a regular quarter:

Another quarter shot:

A general shot while it was hailing:

Good pics. Some friends on base reported golf ball sized briefly in that storm. The storm completely missed me.

Yeah, was talking with the recruiter and he said at the office it was bigger than quarters. Guess we just missed the main core, but in this case, that was a good thing. Quarter sized is plenty big for my liking. Mom did say, however, that the first couple stones that fell, she swore was bigger than golf ball sized. She said the main piece of one, after it shattered on the road, was still golf ball sized. I did not see it, however, as I was inside when the first couple stones fell.

I haven't seen hail since 1997
