6/20/2020 8:00 PM A severe thunderstorm moved just to our east yesterday evening around 8:00 p.m. We were situated just on the backside of the storm and about 4 or 5 hail stones fell in our general vicinity. The one that I saw from a distance of about 20 feet looked to be at least half-dollar sized. Thankfully, only a few fell. While I'm not aware of any damage, any of these hail stones would have left a dent in a car or caused some damage to exposed surfaces. 1 1/4" Half Dollar Size 1 1/4" Half Dollar Size 1 1/4" Half Dollar Size 1 1min minor leaf damage Intermittent True Before rain Same time as smaller hail vertical
