The storm lasted a full 5 minutes by the clock. All of the screens on our porch were ripped out and we lost two windows in the house (on the west side). Miraculously the glass in both cars is unbroken but the cars are covered in dents. It was very LOUD.

It was terrifying but exciting too. (: You definitely wouldn't have wanted to be caught outside while it was hailing. I managed to get a couple minutes on video but it was dark and to get a better view I would have had to risk getting some serious lumps on my head! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLXUQnbREjM

That appears to be exactly the same size and just about the same temperature, as my mother-in-law's brain.
