Large Hail from Nocturnal Oklahoma Thunderstorms (June 7, 2021)

Strong to severe thunderstorms developed after midnight across SW Oklahoma Sunday night. I went to have a look at how intense these nocturnal storms can be, typical in the central U.S. in the summer. This video shows the severe hailstorm that struck Elgin, OK at around 3:30 AM with a nearby report of baseball-sized stones in this storm! I estimated a maximum hail diameter of about 1.5 inches (ping-pong ball). I also caught the tail end of a severe windstorm closer to dawn, associated with a much larger system.

That's awesome! I was chasing that night and there were tree branches all over my yard. The April 2020 hail storm was a rocker as well. Great video

Storms like this in Southern California are rare, except during El Nino and usually happen in February.
