This hail was even deemed “gorilla” hail because of its size and stated that it was remarkable not only because of its size but also because it accumulated up to 76 mm (3 inches) on the ground, particularly in Llano, where the largest hail was reported.

The term ‘gorilla hail’ was coined by storm chaser Reed Timmer, who met the storm west of Llano. Timmer shared footage of himself driving through the destructive storm with a broken windshield as he called it one of the ‘top 5 most intense hail cores’ he has encountered.
