Everything Is Bigger In Texas, Especially This Hailstone
The State Climate Extremes Committee in Texas has officially determined that a massive hailstone from June, 2024, is the largest hailstone on record for the state. After detailed analysis of photos of the hailstone with various items for scale (including an energy drink can and a work glove), experts determined that the monster hailstone measured 7.1 inches in diameter at its widest.

Baseball-sized hail hits Hill Country as rare morning supercells tear through region
AUSTIN, Texas — Right as many were just starting their day at 9 a.m., a supercell entered the Hill Country, quickly intensifying, dropping large hail in Mason and Llano, near quarter sized to half dollar size.
That was the strongest storm in the area until the second supercell arrived in Gillespie County. This storm rapidly exploded in intensity as a cold front pushed through the area, creating a monster hail storm.
The storm roared into Willow City as the hail core grew to produce golf ball to baseball sized hail. Radar estimates say there could have been some areas with grapefruit sized hail. Baseball sized chunks of ice fell across Willow City, producing roof damage and cracking windshields. The supercell kept its strength and progressed east towards Round Mountain, producing golf ball sized hail to near billiard ball sized.

Monster Hailstone Shatters Texas Record
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) – A gargantuan hailstone discovered in the Texas Panhandle on June 2, 2024, has officially shattered the state’s record for the largest hail ever documented. The stone measured 7.1 inches in diameter — wider than a regulation size NFL football — and was found along a roadside ditch near Vigo Park in Swisher County.
The discovery beat the previous Texas record of 6.46 inches, set by a hailstone found in Hondo in 2021.
Storm chaser Val Castor spotted the massive ice ball while pursuing a tornadic supercell thunderstorm across the Texas Panhandle.
“As I was chasing this tornadic supercell, I started to notice large hail on the ground the size of softballs,” Castor explained. “I noticed what looked like a gallon jug of milk in the ditch. As I drove past it, I was thinking no way was this a hailstone, but I turned around and went back.”
