This is where some critical thinking skills could really come in handy. How anyone can read that and not immediately question it is beyond me.

Thats a fricking mini meteor
. Hail that size would put a hole in the concrete.Posted on 4/10/21 at 8:32 am to Fox McCloud
My neighborhood in Prairieville is fricked. Trees down in lots of yards. No electricity but lots of chainsaws running.

Jarrod Gardner @jarrodgardner10 Just had a pretty bad storm roll through Orange beach near the Wharf with this size hail.
I’m in Orange Beach now. Just went outside the front for the first time to see if I could tell if there was any damage to cars in the parking lot. Never seen such widespread damage before, about half the cars/trucks have shattered glass and dents in roofs. Glad my friend was the one who drove us, hope his truck is ok.

You usually have to go to Texas/Oklahoma to find it. People this far East aren't used to that at all. Several years ago, East Texas had several giant hailers in the span of like 10 days. Some of it was basketball size and put holes through roofs.
You don't get huge hail like that in the same way you get pea-sized or quarter-sized hail. You will see maybe a few huge hail stones and the rest is still huge, but not monster size.

With all due respect, there's no such thing as basketball or soccer ball sized hail even in the Great Plains. The largest hailstone ever recorded was nearly 6 inches in diameter hailstone in Coffeyville, Kansas. As rt said, grapefruit size is as big as hail gets.
The hail in Orange Beach last night woke my dad up about 3:30 am. He lives in the neighborhood behind The Publix in Orange Beach and he said he's never seen anything like it. He said it was like baseballs and golf balls pouring down. It busted out the windshield of his truck and f'ed up the hood as well. Cars everywhere in that area of Orange Beach with windows busted out.

Nope. 8" is the record out of Vivian, South Dakota on July 23, 2010. It was reported to have been even larger and had melted some before being measured.

Granted, I was going with the Coffeyville, KS hailstone because it was the largest officially recorded hailstone for many years but that South Dakota hailstone makes sense.
Btw, can you imagine getting caught out in your car in a storm dropping 8 inch hailstones??!!! I got caught up in a bad ping pong ball sized hail storm in Wyoming driving back home after living out west and it was so loud inside the car you couldn't hear the radio. Grapefruit sized hail would be insane!

I don't want any part of any hail. Just have some a-hole stand on your roof and throw a double handful of quarters at you. That will sufficiently dicker your whole day.
I used to work in a shop that had the old skylights in the roof that would open using a motor and pulley system. We had a bad storm come through that dropped tennis ball sized hail. Standing in that building when that was going on sounded like 50 grown men on the roof hitting it with baseball bats. The windows were safety glass with the wire in them, so they didn't shatter. We had the roll-up door open about a foot or more. When the stones hit the pavement they were bouncing back up out of sight, so more than a foot of bounce.
We had pulled our vehicles inside or under a big overhang awning on the other side of our building. Otherwise, we would have been fricked.

Accuweather this morning had pictures from Louisiana and Mississippi of lightening-back lighted tornados. Several where shots of tow different tornados at one time, not that far apart.

I remember a hailstorm with pea sized hail. Even that sounded like machine gun fire. My dog was ducking her head and running through the house.

Make sure that the inside company totals that car instead of giving him a new windshield
Same thing happened to me in Miami.. a cocoa nut went through my back window and insurance said it has to be totaled so I got a new truck out of it
