The storm also touched parts of Texas, bringing the same hail and heavy rainfall on Wednesday night. The storm is currently tracking northeastward, mainly hitting the areas north of Dallas and Fort Worth. Yesterday was certainly a billion-dollar hail loss day across the U.S., Northern Illinois University meteorologist Victor Gensini told USA Today. San Antonio and Fort Worth, Texas – along with Norman – were all impacted with large to significant hail. In addition, there was one gargantuan (4 inch) hail report near Hondo, Texas.
The largest hail size was at about 3.25 inches, and reported out of the Hillcrest Airport area northeast of Fort Worth.
