Yawn! Thats merely the size of a honeydew melon, come back when you have something the size of a water melon!



Seriously though imagine something like that hitting your car while driving...

Is Oklahoma famous for big hails? My wife found a youtube video of Oklahoma hail that was large too but in May last year...

Good question! Oklahoma in general has more tornadoes and tornadoes do produce hail, and hail size does depend on how strong the storm is. Oklahoma does hold the dubious honor of having the most severe hail storms in the country.

Did a search and am surprised that Cheyenne, Wyoming gets the most hail storms on average in the states.

You ain't seen nothing yet

Revelation 16:21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

theoretically, if you could build a machine that could catch the hailstone, you could use it to generate electricity.

of course, you probably wouldn't generate more than a watt hour ... and you'd consume lots of watt hours building the machine.

I looked up how much a Talent is, new testament about 130 lbs, prior to that around 60-70 pounds...
