"Texas hailstone confirmed as largest ever in state"
[accuweather.com]
A report released by the National Center for Environmental Information (NCEI) on June 22 confirmed that one hailstone that fell amid the damaging storm broke the record for its "unheard of" size as the largest hailstone in the state of Texas, a State Climate Extremes Committee (SCEC) unanimously confirmed.
The stone fell 1 mile south-southwest of the center of Hondo, Texas, roughly around 7:35 p.m. CDT on April 28. It measured 19.73 inches in circumference and 6.4 inches in diameter and weighed a whopping 1.26 pounds with a volume of 40.239 cubic inches.

So they say. It must be true with hail stones because I've not heard of anywhere else with these killers. Every year here it seems there is a story of someone is killed by one of these monsters. Often, it's someone who runs out to move their car to somewhere protected.
