(Fox News) – A Texas city was battered with hail the size of tennis balls this week during a storm being described as the worst of its kind there in nearly three decades. The hailstorm that passed through San Angelo Thursday rained down chunks of ice large enough to damage everything from the roofs of homes to car windshields, according to KTXS.

“Once the storm formed, it became severe rather quickly,” National Weather Service meteorologist Jim Wingenroth told the San Angelo Standard-Times. “It produced a widespread hail across the city. There was a lot of golf ball-sized hail, but got up to tennis ball-sized hail.” The newspaper reported that the storm lasted around three hours Thursday night.
