Holy cow, that is some epic-sized hail. Did you manage to weigh them?
No but we got to measure their length. They were 7-10 cm each. Looks like theres going to be more again today from what I see.

Biggest I've seen is a penny. ;; /jealousy

That's utterly insane, the size of the hail is huggeee :oooo!!! What I'm really thinking at this moment, though, is how irresponsible your school system was for allowing the hail fight to escalate to a kid being knocked out. I'm sure the few teachers there did what they could, but still. He/she could've got internal bleeding or something for all we know and died. D:

It's been long but we can do it; let's make this our dream

Look to tomorrow because it's all we have. Turn up the music until the walls shake. What do we have?
Is it hope? Love? Is it nothing at all? We won't know at all until we make something of what we feel.
When that happens, we'll find the truth. We'll find what we want. And we will find ourselves, finally.

omg the size of a tennis ball?! now thats scary!! the biggest we've ever gotten is the size of a Toonie. poor kid who got knocked out, how can hail even become that big?
Well, it's pretty much snow forming together in the sky, turning into chunks of hail.

I've never seen hail before, that's just crazy.
It looks like a whole bunch of salt! xD

I feel bad for the kid that knocked out, too, though. :[

Wait,wait,wait!
Your telling me that fell from the sky!
Holy smokes.
I would have been screaming and yelling "The sky is falling!".
But seriously I kind of think the whole fight thing is made up, who in their right mind would throw that at another person, yet alone a whole school?
:/
That's just crazy that looks like it would kill someone if it hit them from the sky.
Glad I wasn't there.
XD

DUH! -.-

If chunks of hail that huge hit someone in the head, falling or not, it could pretty much kill them.

That one kid was lucky enough just to get knocked out!

Hail is formed when rain is caught in the updraft of a sever thunderstorm. When the rain gets to a point in the storm where the air temperature is below frizzing, the rain freezes. Once the rain pellet frizzes it tries to fall to Earth. However if the updraft is strong enough, the small hail stone goes back up and collects rain that increases its size. Eventually it will become heavy enought to overcome the force of the updraft and fall to Earth.
