Hail: Weight

RecordDateWhereStationStatus
1.34 poundsJune 22, 2003AuroraEA

The Aurora hailstone holds the title of the largest circumference hail stone observed to have fallen in the United States. The Vivian, SD hailstone of 7\/23\/2010 is the largest in diameter and in weight. The weight listed here for the Aurora hail stone is the weight of the fractured remnant of the stone (Knight and Knight, 2005) and thus is likely a sizable underestimate of the true stone weight.
