Thanks to Kevin Selle for relaying these pictures, taken by Alice Bishop, who writes:

“We really got hit hard by the storm last night. It hailed for at least 20 minutes. When it finally stopped, it was over six inches deep in most places. One pile is even deeper, maybe 12 inches, but we couldn’t get the tape measure down into it to measure it. I am attaching some pictures. Thankfully Kevin forewarned us and everyone was home safely before it hit.

Matthew, I have a quart size freezer bag full of hail for you in the freezer.

Now for the craziest part of the story, we still have hail in the backyard! There are several piles, including the 12 inch pile. It’s been 12 hours! Amazing!”
