Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Numerous reports of very large hail were received from the public across a large part of central Troup county from west of LaGrange near West Point Lake east to Mountville along the eastern border of the county. Many of the hail reports were of golf ball to baseball-sized hail. Hail the size of quarters to golf balls completely covered the ground at one shopping center in La Grange. Dozens of car windshields were broken during the hailstorm. The most significant damage occurred at a Toyata dealership in LaGrange, where 240 vehicles were damaged.
A thunderstorm producing very large hail affected much of far eastern Troup county. The thunderstorm entered the county just north of Hogansville and exited just southeast of Mountville. A number of reports of very large hail were received from the county 911 center, storm spotters, and the public as the storm traveled through the county. Golf ball, baseball, and even tennis ball-sized hail were observed from Hogansville to Mountville. A damage survey conducted by the National Weather Service the following day confirmed that roofs of homes in the area sustained significant damage and trees in the area were stripped of leaves by the large hail.
