Giant hail destroyed property in Springfield

Strong thunderstorms swept through much of the Midwest and southern states on Tuesday, and heavy hail that damaged cars was also reported in other places, such as Arkansas and Texas.

However, the largest hail and the largest damage were reported in the city of Springfield in the state of Missouri.

The hailstones were at least 10 cm in diameter, but the National Weather Service (NWS) is reviewing available materials to determine how large the largest hailstones were.

Strong storms also caused power outages, and the local zoo had to close due to damage caused by hail. She announced on her Facebook page that a female emu died due to a storm.
