Gigantic hailstones are one of the most unusual and destructive forms of weather.
Causing damage to roofs, cars and posing a risk to anyone caught walking around showers of hailstones as large as baseballs have been recorded throughout history in various parts of the world.
With chunks of ice -- sometimes very large -- falling out of the sky during a warm-weather season, hail is one of the most unusual, and destructive, types of weather. Hail is common in the U. S. , especially in and near "Tornado Alley," but large hail occurs frequently in Europe as well.
