‘Gorilla’ Hail Struck Texas And Oklahoma Last Night, And This Is How It Looked (30 Pics)
Residents in Texas and Oklahoma were recovering Thursday after 4-inch hailstones bombed parts of the states a day earlier, leaving behind damaged cars and homes.
A 1-inch hail is enough to cause harm, but these were the size of a softball.
There were at least 38 reports of severe hail, including near San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Oklahoma City, according to the Storm Prediction Center.
"The hail damage yesterday could become yet another billion-dollar weather disaster for the US," CNN's senior meteorologist Dave Hennen said.
"This could be the second billion-dollar disaster this year in Texas, after the extreme Arctic outbreak back in February."

The worst thing about this storm was that there was no warning- it wasn't even raining. All of the sudden we heard the wind (75-80 mph) We assumed it was a tornado and went for cover, but ten seconds later it sounded like bombs going off everywhere. Tennis ball size hail hitting our roof, fence, and cars. With such high winds, the hail came at you sideways- Cars and houses can be repaired, thankfully family and pets are all safe and sound across Norman.

The fact that they even have pre-printed rulers should tell you about the kind of hail we get in Texas and Oklahoma.

Looks like something out of a catastrophe movie. Nature is all kinds of terrifying, and we are always challenging it...
