So my neck of the woods just had a #hailstorm with, at its worst, hailstones the size of marbles. That tends to get your attention. I was driving around in my Little Black Jellybean (small yet mighty!) when it started coming down hard. Kinda sounded like living in a popcorn maker. Anyway, this car FLEW past me on the highway and I was about to be annoyed when I took a closer look and went, "well, okay."

Because they were driving a convertible. With the top down. In the middle of a hailstorm.

I could see them mentally reviewing every life choice they'd ever made as they flew by.

The weather's been pretty wild these past few days. This was hailstorm number 3 or 4 I think. Lucy was intrigued 😁

Yikes! Monster 6-inch #hailstone likely to shatter Illinois state record

Hail the size of grapefruit fell in #Illinois Wednesday night, and that may qualify as a new state record, if it can be officially confirmed.

By Jesse Ferrell, Mar 11, 2026

Excerpt: "Other Skywarn spotters and storm chasers also found big hail, as large as 6.4 inches across in Kankakee, 5.5 inches at Campus, #Illinois, and 5.2 inches near Buckingham, Illinois. Hailstones 4.5 inches in diameter were also reported in #Texas and #Missouri on Wednesday. The large hail came from an intense storm stretching nearly from #Mexico to #Canada. "

🌨️ Proud to share our first attribution study of a #hailstorm in Europe. Using atmospheric analogues, we show that climate change increased hail probability by up to 30% and hail size by up to 1.5 cm while natural variability modulates frequency https://rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/asl2.70016 @CNRS
