World's largest hailstone!
I found the second article quite amusing :lol:

Quite amazing to read up elsewhere the real world record hailstone was 17.8cm in diameter :shock:

Large hailstones, well large clusters are called Gorrillas, in case you want to know :)
It dosen't state whether these were cluster hailstones or just singula ones
