Sad.
I’ve always wondered how many people on the Oregon trail etc were caught in such hail out on the open prairie. Coronado’s expedition out of New Mexico for the cities of gold was caught in a terrible hailstorm in Blanco Canyon, near today’s Lubbock Tx. Smashed a lot of their equipment, pottery, etc. Scattered their animals, etc.

How terrible.
How will the rats spin this? Another law will be needed. Apparently every single mishap now mandates Federal intrusion.

I lived most of my life in Amarillo. Not uncommon to have hail from golf ball to grapefruit size.
One storm went down I 40 west of Amarillo for about 5 miles. Softball sized hail, high winds. Broke every car window and overturned every 18 wheeler along that stretch (near Bushland).
My friend and I worked on weekends (one of my many part time jobs) re-roofing houses every summer after hail storms. We would get a couple of helpers and we could do a roof in a weekend.

How will the rats spin this? Global warming and genderphobia.
And a smidge of racism. Fekkin white hail.

That's what they think. Wasn't COVID supposed to be similar?

Hail is a freak storm now? It must be climate change, since hail never happened before!
Seriously, prayers to the young girl family. It is a sad event.
To: BenLurkin
Tragic. These types of storms can pop up out of nowhere.
In Fort Worth, we had an apocalyptic hail storm in early May 1996 during an annual outdoor park festival, Mayfest. The injuries were massive and damage to vehicles ran into the 100’s of millions.

10 inch hail is maybe just a little unusual, maybe?

I had to look at my tape measure to learn how long 10 centimeters is. It's 4 inches.
OUCH! Poor child!

Yes, bit not sure of the spelling there.
