Weird isn't it, This is the biggest I've had this year. That Wichita wall works wonders. Say that 5 times fast.

Also near Henrietta, TX on 4/3/2008... A couple of these were really embedded in the ground good, and near baseball size I will never forget when the NOAA radio said, "Expect hail to the size of grapefruits!" LOL! I live N of Kansas City MO, and that was a first for me I've heard hail warned to that size. Of course, I bolted S when I heard that...

I need to get closer to more cores. I love hail almost as much as tornadoes but sadly this is the best Ive ever gotten. From May 23rd south of Quinter, KS.

None of these top the Wisconsin Rapids day (http://www.tornadoeskick.com/logs070607.html) last June, but those three days as a whole were great for hail!

Small, but lots of it. Earlier this week in the foothills above Santa Fe, NM

I've really avoided the big stuff this year. In fact, this was about the only hail encounter I've had.

Adam, okay next time if you want hail i'll get you right in the core!

I actually rode out a hail storm in a tent up in the mountains last week in CO. Only pea size, but it covered the ground. No pictures or video unfortunately. Here is some other hail I saw this year.

May 22nd near Coldwater. Most were about 1.5 inches or so.

First minute of my video from April 7th between Vernon and Electra features some solid tennis balls. Picked up a nice collection of dents from it too.

I already posted this pic in the "Humor Shots" thread so if moderators want to delete that one, that would be cool. This thread seems a little more appropriate. May 30th- On I-94 just northwest of the Twin Cities:

We saw up to softball size in the road on May 1 but I did not get any photos....

[Kem Poyner]

My largest hail of 2008.

[Matthew Fischer]

If any of you have baseball size hail you should throw it at some one and see how fast they react? might become an act for cubs pitching so they can win a world series!

btw that's sox fan talking!

[Darrin Rasberry]

Here's a mammoth from 3/30. Probably grapefruit sized since it seemed a bit bigger than a baseball IMO.

Also from March 30th...between Sentinel and Rocky (Wa_hita Co. OK)...a little bigger than 3" hail was found among many golfball sized hailstones along OK Highway 55. The responsible updraft is shown in this first pic...and 3 of the largest hailbombs we found are in the second one. This supercell was an easy one to follow until it became decidedly HP structured in Caddo Co.
