Severe hail is hail 3/4 of an inch in diameter, or about dime sized. In February of 2000, I had to make a mad dash to get my newly-purchased car under cover when we had a freak hailstorm come through the east side of Dallas on in to Garland. The hail at my house was multiple-stone chunks of ice that measured up to 6" in some dimensions. Each individual stone within the cluster was around 2", with some up to 3". There were reports of football-sized chunks falling in Garland, and I saw some with my own eyes at a weather school the next day. The damage was severe in the relatively small area where the hail hit. Lots of roof damage, broken glass, pitted cars... luckily, I got my car into safety before the SHTF.

I have never seen anything that that before. Where is Frisco TX? Is Frisco near Houston? I heard from watching TV that Houston and Galvaston got slammed hard by Hurricane Ike?

It's a good thing I live in California, not much of a hail where I live. Probably every couple years or so and just a few millimeters in size, lol. Holy crap, looks like raining rocks.

That is the storm that made my minivan the lovely, pockmarked thing it is today! LOL! I could actually get away with just having the hood fixed, as the luggage rack hides the roof pocks pretty well. We moved from Dallas to Alabama just over a year ago, and while we've had some hellatious* storms, I don't think I've seen ONE piece of hail! I've been afraid there was a tornado coming a lot more often here, though - which I find surprising, because, I thought Dallas and Alabama were equal in that regard. Hm. *Is 'hellatious' slang? Spellcheck just wasn't helping me out a bit! Hmm... Yep! That is the storm that made my minivan the lovely, pockmarked thing it is today! LOL!

During the last days we had in Berlin also thunder-storms with a deluge of water. So huge that some subway stations has to be closed (<a href="http://www.morgenpost.de/content/2007/08/09/berlin/914961.html" rel="nofollow">article</a>). Wow, what a hail.
