Wind Weather Facts

Hailstones
The heaviest US hailstone struck Coffeyville KS in 1970. It was nearly 6 inches in diameter and it weighed 1.67 pounds. The average stone size from the storm was five inches in diameter, with another stone reportedly eight inches in diameter.

The world’s heaviest hailstone (and lots go unmeasured) was 2.2lb for a stone that fell in Bangladesh, India on April, 14th 1986.

The largest recorded US hail stone was 7” in diameter. It fell in Aurora, Nebraska in June 2003. Weight – nearly a pound.

Hail causes about one billion dollars of damage to US crops every year. Farmers spend about sixty million dollars on hail insurance annually.

Apparently hail altered world history., Severe hailstorms obliterated many crops in the region around Paris during the summer of 1788. This produced a severe shortage of food that antagonized the locals. The French Revolution began in 1789.

A thunderstorm is classified as severe when it produces hail 3/4 of an inch or larger in diameter.

 

The following table shows official hail size descriptions:
