Ouch! But the largest hailstone still remains in Nebraska at 7" Diameter (after possible melting... honestly, who'd run out and get it when hail almost the size of soccer balls is falling?)

They should put a giant hailstorm in The Day After Tomorrow!
Imagine that stuff falling!

Just to give a visual idea of the hail.
Here's tennis ball size (2.5") [May 4, '03 | Bellevue, NE]
Damage from 3" hail (teacup size) [May 4, '03 | Bellevue, NE]
Creater from 7" hail [June 22, '03 | Aurora, NE]

Also.... it should be noted that a hailstone near 4.25" falls to the ground at approx. 110 mph. ...and normally the hailstones aren't round such as this...

Even Dime Sized Hail can be dangerous. But the hail sizes have been INSANE this evening!
