Event narrative (NOAA)
Widespread golfball to softball size hail produced a tremendous amount of damage but miraculously there were no injuries. Almost every house in Garden City sustained damage and all vehicles left in the elements received hail dents or broken windows. Several stories of hail bouncing through rooms were received. The severity of the storm was also unique in that it occurred well after midnight.
