The storm cells were robust. Grandson had a 5:45pm little league game scheduled. Cancelled right after we got to the baseball fields. The storm cells popped up instantly. A LOT of lightning. Fortunately we missed the hail that passed northwest and southeast of us. Reports were that some of the hail was 2.25 inches in diameter. More common reports were over an inch. I've seen tennis ball and softball sized hail here, though that was in 1995, but I can do without anything over pea-sized. The storms were beautiful, however. The satellite images are stunning.

I was in central Germany in the 1970's and remember golf ball sized hail there - luckily I was one of the few that had a garage lots of vehicles written off.

That’s an interesting video of the dry-line thunderstorms. On the morning of May 20, 2013 I was flying from Phoenix, AZ to Chicago. Not long after leaving Phoenix I noticed a string of clouds lined up from southwest to northeast. Phoenix was totally clear and the first little circular cloud was just a pinpoint and each successive cloud along the line was slightly larger. There were no other clouds besides the string of clouds in the cloud line. The clouds were considerably below the plane and puffy, like small cumulus clouds, and did not look at all threatening. The line stretched towards the northeast as far as I could see. After an hour or so of flying above the line, the cloud size was getting larger and from my vantage point, they finally blended into a generally cloudy sky. I had no idea what it was at the time other than a very unusual sight. After seeing this video, it was clearly a dry line. Later that day there was a large storm outbreak in Oklahoma including a massive F5 tornado which ravaged the Oklahoma City area (Moore) causing extensive death and destruction.
