Sometimes, I'm amazed that I've never been in a hailstorm. I've seen it a couple of times *after* a storm when I walk outside and find it all over the ground. But I've never been out and about on foot or in my car when hail started falling.

Heard on the noon news that a patient was injured by flying glass from a hailstone that crashed in his/her hospital window! :eek:

Growing up, I spent time on my grandparents farm in the Panhandle of Texas...their farm was approx 24 miles SE of Amarillo, I can remember MANY a summer, we'd have to hit the storm cellar and we could hear hailstones POUNDING the cellar door, we'd peek out after it was over, pick up hailstones the size of golfballs or bigger and EAT them!

Largest hail I've ever seen has been golfball size. Many years ago while I was in colorado during the summer I was caught in a hailstorm while driving and the hail completely covered the ground.
