A curious phenomenon
There are few weather conditions that are as distinctive and as
destructive as hail storms. A hail storm is when different sized balls of ice
fall in considerable quantities during a storm. It is important to realize that
even though hail is ice balls formed in the upper atmosphere, Hail storms are also
very common in many tropical regions of the world. However, tropical hailstorms
are not usually as severe or destructive as those we face in the Charlotte and
Concord region.
A destructive force
The ice balls that fall during a hailstorm can fall with enormous
force. Some hail stones can be small in diameter, but are driven by wind, and
can hit the ground and your home with great velocity. The typical hailstone can
range in size from 5 to 150 millimeters in breadth. Weather agencies, news departments, and most
media organizations do not refer to the size of hailstones in millimeters; they
refer to objects of comparison such as:
- Coins such as pennies, dimes, or dollars
- Peas
- Golf balls
- Baseballs.
