Very Large hail up to tennis ball size 4-25-09 Foss Lake Oklahoma

Stopped near Foss Lake, Oklahoma where we witnessed a brief high based funnel cloud. Shortly after that the hail began to fall which started off as quarters but then grew larger and larger. When it was all over we collected a bunch and the biggest we found was the size of a tennis ball. [2.5"] with many golf balls. These put a few dents on the hood and roof but amazingly didn't shatter any glass. The crackling sound of it all smashing against the pavement is just awesome.

You can hear a big impact at :22 which was one of the dents.

Picture of some of the ones we collected:

[AeroStorm911]

they were, they were shattering on the cement. check the picture i have linked in the description. I measure the inside circle and it was 2.75" and the biggest stone was only a wee bit smaller than that. golf ball is 1.75" and the largest one we found was 2.5"
