The giant hail stone measured 183/4 inches in circumference and 7 inches in diameter, said Steve Kisner, a warning coordinator for the National Weather Service in Hastings.
That would make the stone 21/2 inches wider than a softball.

Coffeyville, Kansas hailstone will rule!
If NWS

accepts the measurements, that 7 inch stone will be the record holder.
