So at the time of the storm, I was about 5 miles west and didn't even get rain, but my roommate managed to save a couple of these.

Guess it's time to go golfing!

Nice. I haven't looked at the cars in our lot for damage, but my roommate said it sounded like all the windshields were cracking and shattering. I've never seen hail anywhere close to this big!

We got lots in Waukesha.

Luckily the news said it was coming so we put the cars in the garage. We only had chunks a bit smaller than a gold ball. But some kid on the news had ap icture holding one the size of a baseball. THey had shot son the news of shattered windshields and all kinds of damage.

Hail and tornados across eastern Iowa.

Hail was no more that 1/4" in Cedar Rapids.

Iowa City got hit with a bad twister.

I was in a field about 1.5 blocks from my house trying to take pics of the lightning and heard a roar approaching...then a few plinks nearby...then insane hail. I ran my ass off and somehow avoided being hit, finally making it back home. Crazy.

A friend of mine took a picture of one that he found:
