August 11, 2004
We just had one of the worst thunderstorms with
the largest hail that I have seen.
The maximum wind hit 50 mph at 1606 from the west.
Quarter size hail started around 1610 and was
followed by about one or two minutes around
(1616 to 1618) of very large hail.
I collected hail stones that were as large as 3.0
inches by 2.5 inches. No, they were NOT spherical.
The storm was over by 1620. It did put some small
dents in our car top.
We are lucky it wasn't much of the large hail
and it didn't last long.
Total rainfall from storm was 0.93 inches and
we had 0.38 inches in 5 minutes.
Maximum rain rate was 11.08 inches per hr. at 1607 hrs.
(Lasting less than one minute at this rate
but a new record rate on Davis Vantage Pro)
