6/7/2016 4:00 PM I was not home at the time. There was not a lot of hail, and not very much rain, either. I measured and photographed the hail when I arrived home. Hail did snap lots of branch bits off maple trees. 1 1/2" Ping Pong Ball Size 3/4" Penny Size 1/4" Pea Size Hard False
7/7/2016 11:30 PM Hail was so infrequent, though steady, it is doubtful any would have hit a hail pad. Hail also too big to be out gathering any samples. ALL hail in this storm was large, no rain, no wind, no thunder. 1 1/2" Ping Pong Ball Size 1 1/2" Ping Pong Ball Size 1 1/2" Ping Pong Ball Size Mixed|White Ice 30 3min shredded leaves Continuous False Before rain Same time as smaller hail vertical
7/8/2016 2:30 AM This hail storm was in conjunction with very heavy rain. A hail pad would have been covered with hail.
