Storm trackers in the Texas Panhandle recovered a massive hail stone that researchers say is likely to be a new state record.
Val and Amy Castor, veteran storm chasers with Oklahoma City television station KWTV, discovered a piece of hail more than 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long Sunday along the side of the road near Vigo Park while they were chasing a major thunderstorm system.
Val Castor said the stone was about the size of a pineapple.
I presume we’ll hear Texas Republicans tell us that this huge hail stone shows that ice in June is possible, therefore there is no global warming.
Global warming? If Earth is getting hotter then how could I have all this money from Big Oil?
What fucking two-bit news outlet wrote this story, all talking about pineapples. WE MEASURE IN BANANAS, N00BS
I’d estimate it’s between 3-10 bananas, depending on the size of the bananas.
It’s especially hacky since that thing looks much closer to the size of a banana than a pineapple anyways!
Anything but metric
Just got to say that at that point it isn’t a stone anymore.
How small are the pineapples in Texas? Because a can of Monster is not the same size of any pineapple I’ve seen.
Weird to see Val and Amy’s names in the wild. They are tornado season regulars here.
Everything is bigger in Texas for real!
