The largest hailstone ever recorded fell in Vivian, South Dakota, on July 23, 2010. It measured 8 inches in diameter and weighed nearly 2.5 pounds. This remarkable size is attributed to the storm's intense updrafts, which allow hailstones to grow larger as they are lifted repeatedly through freezing temperatures.
