USA Today quotes Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, as saying that a thunderstorm cloud contains approximately 275 million gallons of water. (http://www.usatoday.com/weather/resources/askjack/archives-thunderstorms.htm} NOAA's National Weather Service says, "One inch of rain over one square mile equals 17.4 million gallons of water weighing 143 million pounds (about 72,000 tons), or the weight of a train with 40 boxcars."

What do strom chasers do when its not the season?

Why does it hail?
Hail forms when raindrops freeze while falling. This can happen for many reasons. If the drops move through an area of very dry air, rapid evaporation can cause the drops to freeze. Extremely turbulent air can cause raindrops to fall, be sucked back upward into freezing air, collide with each other, and fall again as hail. Sometimes this process repeats producing oversized hailstones.

This number can fluctuate significantly based on local weather patterns and rainfall intensity.
