What the reports say
Written by National Weather Service staff at the time of the event · public domain
Hen egg size hail mixed with smaller hailstones to produce damage to roofs and vehicles in Marfa. This hail occurred during the second of two severe storms to impact the Marfa vicinity during the late evening and early morning hours of the 2nd and 3rd.
Large hail fell over Marfa again as a second severe storm affected the area shortly after midnight CST. Reports indicated that hail up to the size of half-dollars persisted for nearly twenty-five minutes. The long duration of one and a half inch diameter hail and occasionally larger stones, resulted in damage to numerous roofs and vehicles.
The first of two hail storms to affect the Marfa area struck at 23:00 CST. Large hail ranging in size from ping pong balls to golfballs fell along U.S. Highway 67 near the city. This initial storm is believed to be responsible for minor roof damage, however, a more significant hail storm impacted Marfa just an hour later and likely produced a majority of the damage.
