Softball Size Hail Last Spring

Winter isn't her yet though it does feel like it. After winter, spring of 2017 will be following. Last Spring back in April Texas experienced a softball sized hailstorm. Damaging hailstorms were plentiful last spring, impacting metro areas such as Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio (twice), Washington, D.C., Indianapolis, and Lincoln, Nebraska.

Wind Destroys Home's Windows

Nearly all of the windows in this Wylie, Texas, home were knocked out by the April 11 hailstorm.

Of all the photos from those events, the one above from Wylie, Texas, stands out due to the incredible damage to the home's windows.

A combination strong winds and hail to the size of softballs from a lone supercell thunderstorm caused the damage. A day later, the San Antonio metro area was hit hard by what would be the first of two major hailstorms to hit the city in April. The combined insured losses from the hailstorms April 10-15 in Texas was $2.5 billion. This includes both the April 11 north Texas hailstorm and the April 12 San Antonio storm.
