OMG, volleyball sized hail?! Can anyone confirm this? I don't see anything larger than 4.5" listed on SPC preliminary, so I am uncertain as to whether or not this report is accurate. If the hail really was the size of volleyballs, all I can say is OUCH! :shocked!: :shocked!:

There was one report of 7" in diameter hailstones and another of 4.5" -- not sure which on is true. Truly amazing to see volleyball size hail fall from the sky! :o :o

to an article in a thread on this topic on WWBB, the NWS has confirmed canteloupe sized hail with a diameter of 6.5in which is a record stone for Nebraska. The measured circumference of the stone was only 1/8 inch smaller than the US record stone that fell in Coffeyville KS so this was definitely a big hailer.

It was probably thought that hail larger than what fell in Coffeyville, Kansas on September 3, 1970 was never going to happen again.

Most likely, Tom... but yet, bigger hail fell in Nebraska, and that size hail is now the world record, and I know that that record will be REAL hard to break! :o

I posted pictures and a new story about the hailstones in the other thread I started if anyone's interested in more information about the "Megastorms".
