Roof-killing hail is routine here: 8 of the 22 days reached 2 inches or more, 36% of them, the last on 2025-06-08. Those big days do not follow the county's usual calendar: most of them fall in April, not May. More than half of every hail day on record here -- 12 of 22 -- reached golf-ball size, 1.75 inches or bigger.
