Colorado adds entry to record books following an incredible #hailstorm
August 16, 2023
"'The stone had melted sufficiently that it did not break the records for weight or circumference,' the Colorado Climate Center posted on X. 'But the well-documented measurement from the original photo will likely be the new state record for hail diameter at 5.25 [inches], pending approval from the State Climate Extremes Committee.'
"Previously, the state record for the largest diameter of a #hailstone was 4.83 inches, measured in Bethune, Colorado, on Aug. 14, 2019. "
