From the storm reports
Narratives as filed with the NOAA Storm Events Database (public records; lightly trimmed for length).
· 1.0″ (quarter)
A severe storm produced quarter-sized hail.
· 4.88″ (grapefruit)
Large hail up to the size of baseballs to softballs or larger fell in a swath from west of Brooksville to around the Prairie Point area. An NWS survey team and the Mississippi State Climatologist measured a near-record hail stone after it was frozen in an air tight bag. The stone, which measured 4.88 inches or (4-7/8 inches), fell on the southwest side of Brooksville near Macon Lynn Creek Road.
· 2.75″ (baseball)
Baseball sized hail fell just west of Macon in the Mashulaville. Several vehicles were damaged along with some roofs to homes.
