It requires a very powerful thunderstorm updraft to support the development of hail that large and in such large quantities, amazing. Insurance companies will be busy tomorrow.

**Update from this morning**

The line stretches out of the door at Caffey’s Auto Glass as people rush to repair hail damage. #hail #txwx #arnnews pic.twitter.com/5SO3Nnh6aA
