We get it on a regular basis, and although I don't know the numbers, the incidents seem to be increasing in frequency. I've replaced one roof due to hail damage, and one car. But that's nothing to how horribly tragic it is for the toddler to be killed by it. How horrible.

When I was a kid there was a violent hailstorm in the midst of summer, most were the size of gravel (1/4"-1/2" ) but we kids while enjoying sliding around in them found quite a few bigger than golf balls.

Yikes!!! I remember flying into Dallas after a hail storm had damaged most of the planes on the tarmac.
