Event narrative (NOAA)
There was an exceptional swath of hail damage, approximately 2.5 miles wide and 5 miles long. Many trees were completely stripped of their foliage, including an entire hillside, which bore the brunt of the storm and appeared entirely bare. Widespread hail damage was also reported to vehicles and homes within the affected area. Spotters reported golf ball sized hail. The hail accumulated in some areas making the ground white and roads slippery.
