We Texans know how to respond to bad weather: with a smile and alcohol. On April 28 of this year, there was a hailstorm outside of San Antonio. The National Weather Service has confirmed that this hailstone, which measures 6.4 inches across, is officially the largest hailstone in Texas history.
That's officially the largest hailstone.
But it's probably not the biggest. Residents of the town of Hondo claim to have found a hailstone from the same storm measuring 6.57 inches across. They could have waited for the National Weather Service to measure and verify their claim. But, the San Antonio Express-News reports, the owners broke up the ice to make margaritas.
