Six-Pound Hailstone Graces Brampton Roof
A six-pound hailstone struck Reginald Bonnell’s Brampton home during a rainstorm, described as potentially the largest on record. The rectangular block measured six by six by four inches, with a prior record of 414 pounds set a century ago in Spain. Some experts doubt the claim, suggesting a plane wing could explain the fall, though officials say no icing conditions existed at normal flight heights.
