  • Too smooth to be hail. I think they are irregular in shape.

  • @sinongmakulet You've never seen 'smooth' hail balls? I have, plenty of them!

  • i don't believe it. IMO

  • @TheOuskie Check out the other link I put up. The stronger the updraft - the larger they become, until they finally fall to earth.

  • And did not crack when hit land?!

  • @chich234 Check out the other link I added, about 'hail analysis' - there's more photos there of large hailstones that didn't crack, either, upon hitting the earth.

see all

  • Looks like they stuck a balloon filled with water in the freezer

  • abilene tx used to be the record holder for hail back i the 90s, over grapefruit sized hail. hail sucks. it bad...it real bad. it kill many a texan

  • The thunderstorm that pounded south-central Nebraska in June ended up leaving something for the record books The largest hailstone ever recovered in the United States a 7inch 17.8-CM wide chunk of ice almost as large as a soccerball The National Climate Extremes Committee which is responsible for validating national records, formally accepted the measurements last month: seven inches in diameter17.8 centimeters an a circumference of 18.75 inches47.6 centimeters). Norman never had this size hail.

  • I would think that if a hail storm with balls this big would destroy entire buildings. That's like thousands of cannonballs raining down at terminal velocity.

  • @sinongmakulet something that size would have smashed upon impact...

  • when hail gets this big it looks clumpy like chunks stuck together because when it rides the high wind up drafts it gets stuck and frozen in lumpy shapes and it can get big in a tornado if tornadoes can pick up houses that weigh thousands of pounds think how big chunks of ice can get

  • ca turé quel quin et ben j'ait jamer vu ca

  • Did he catch that?

  • wow...now imagine one weighing 60 lbs...man, hope you didn't have any damage. that has got to be a record...btw, if it was a water balloon, you would see indentations where the fingers are grasping it...not fake...

  • @p4vl0o the only thing filled with water, or most likely air...is your head..do research, these hailstones are real..if you lived in a severe weather area you would know that..they are rare that big, but it does happen
