Some of those are big enough to have their own moons.

whoa. freaky. I’ve seen smaller sized hail than that do quite a bit of damage. I can only imagine what cars caught in that look like.

A baseball is about as big as 2 3/4” hail. ;)

Born and raised in Rapid City. I remember hail storms that would literally destroy B-52s at Ellsworth AFB when I was a kid. (They didn’t have enough hangars for all of them...)
The car dealers loved the storms - that way the insurance would buy all of the cars.
Severe thunderstorms are a daily occurrence at this time of year there, but the hailstones shown on your link are huge - even by South Dakota standards..

About 1993 I was caught in a hail storm in Dallas.
Chunks of ice the size of bricks were falling. Luckily, the ice chunks were somewhat soft, or I would have had to replace front and back auto windows.
