Most are not. Most hailstones are pea to marble sized. A hailstone can only get to a certain size of the thunderstorm has a strong enough updraft to hold it airborne. If a storm is dropping Baseball sized hail, then that means the air in the storm is moving up at a fast enough rate to hold the hailstones until they get that big. This suggests air is moving up at over 100 mph.

∙ 16y agoHailstones are so big because from precipitation. Hail is caused when the top of a thunderstorm reaches an altitude over 47000 feet. The rain freezes above this height and then as it falls, the wind blows it back above again, where it is covered by another layer of ice. Everytime it makes the trip, it gets larger.

It depends on how much they weigh. Some have caused a lot of damage, but it's usually to cars and buildings. hailstones are little blocks of ice which fall from the sky.technically hailstones are just frozen rain drops.I wouldn't think hailstones are dangerous as they melt the minute they touch the floor but i guess they could be dangerous if they had a sharp edge.
