Weather expert Sheehan reviews hail history on the South Plains noting the record 112 pound 17 inch circumference stone in 1928 Potter Nebraska and frequent smaller hail. He maps monthly thunderstorm activity and hail frequency from May to October, cites several notable events, and explains radar “hail fingers” indicate near misses rather than exact impact sites.
