This is just a small sampling of the fallen trees within a few blocks of each other. All of this happened in Hodgenville in a very short period of time.

Hail the Size of Golf Balls Hammer Hodgenville

Hail, some as big big as golf balls, slammed Hodgenville, Kentucky today, with reports of a lot of damage to cars.

Trees were also hit hard, with leaves scattered around the roads from the hail knocking them down.

Water was everywhere as the hot temperature quickly melted the hail, resulting in water flooding the streets around the area.

Below are photos of the hail storm and the size of some of the hail.

The first photo shows a huge piece of of hail in comparison to a quarter. That would have caused a lot of damage.

As you can see from the photos, it wouldn't have been a pleasant experience driving or getting caught in the Hodgenville hail storm.
