What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
This was one of the worst severe episodes of the 2006 spring severe weather season. There were several long lived supercells that produced large hail swaths with hail sizes ranging up to baseball size hail that produced widespread damage across several West Central Texas towns or communities.
Baseball size hail from this supercell broke numerous windows and vehicle windshields in and around the town of Doole on the McCulloch and Concho county line. In addition, 100% of the wheat crop was destroyed by the large hail.
