  1. Yikes! Monster 6-inch #hailstone likely to shatter Illinois state record

    Hail the size of grapefruit fell in #Illinois Wednesday night, and that may qualify as a new state record, if it can be officially confirmed.

    By Jesse Ferrell, Mar 11, 2026

    Excerpt: "Other Skywarn spotters and storm chasers also found big hail, as large as 6.4 inches across in Kankakee, 5.5 inches at Campus, #Illinois, and 5.2 inches near Buckingham, Illinois. Hailstones 4.5 inches in diameter were also reported in #Texas and #Missouri on Wednesday. The large hail came from an intense storm stretching nearly from #Mexico to #Canada. "

  6. It was 27°c this afternoon (around 80 freedom degrees)
    Then the storm rolled in. I've never seen anything like this in my life.

    Colorado adds entry to record books following an incredible #hailstorm

    August 16, 2023

    "'The stone had melted sufficiently that it did not break the records for weight or circumference,' the Colorado Climate Center posted on X. 'But the well-documented measurement from the original photo will likely be the new state record for hail diameter at 5.25 [inches], pending approval from the State Climate Extremes Committee.'

    "Previously, the state record for the largest diameter of a #hailstone was 4.83 inches, measured in Bethune, Colorado, on Aug. 14, 2019. "

  13. So, this just hammered down on us in Zumaia. Never seen hail nearly as big and I'm pretty sure it's not normal here in the N Atlantic coast of the Bay of Biscay. At all. In any case, scary stuff. I hope nobody got hurt.
