People in these US states better watch out, for they have the highest risk for hail: Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming!
The months that cause the most hail in a year is March, April, May, and June
The largest piece of hail ever recorded in the USA fell in late July, 2010 with the measurement of eight inches in diameter over 18.60 inches circumference and weighed almost 2 pounds, which broke two records
The very first largest hailstone that ever fell, fell in Aurora, Nebraska in late June, 2003 with a diameter of 7 inches, circumference of 18.75 inches (still the biggest circumference on record), and weighed over one and a half pounds
The second heaviest stone that ever fell, fell in Coffeyville, Kansas was over 1.60 pounds in 1970
Hailstorms never really cause death, but about 24 people are injured every year in the USA
In a thunderstorm, hail can fall. Hail mostly falls from supercells, while not many tornadoes form from supercells
New Doppler radars can estimate how big a hailstone can be from its energy although it isn't completely correct all the time
