Nebraska experiences the largest ever...
...hailstones!
I kid you not.
Unless Jessica Rowe (Aussie news reporter) is mistaken, and someone that goodlooking couldn't possibly be, Nebraska today experienced the largest hailstones ever recorded on Earth.
Apparently they were 'the size of cantelopes'. Now, i don't know if the cantelope is the metric unit for measuring hail, but thats FUCKEN BIG HAIL.
Anyone here from Nebraska? If so, is this true? And what the hell was it like?
Anyone else got any interesting hail stories?
I was in Sydney about 8 years ago when a huge hailstorm hit. I walked out of a surf shop to see what the hell was going on, just in time to see two men dragging an elderly lady out of it... and she had blood on her. Pretty major. These hailstones were said to be 'as big as cricketballs' (baseballs will do as a loose reference), which would equate to, maybe, 0.4 metric cantelopes...
