It was 12 days ago today. One of the strongest hail storms in US history. Stormtrack's Tim Marshhall published a report on the event:

May 5 is a day for chasers that holds a lot of memories:

May 5, 1993: beastly supercell produces multiple tornados in the OK and TX Panhandles
May 5, 1995: Dallas hailstorm
May 5, 2002: Happy Texas tornados, and my first tornado near Seiling Oklahoma
May 5, 2007: Will there be a big May 5 event in 2007?

So far 4.25'' hail reported in Bloomfield, NE with a major severe/tornado outbreak currently taking place across the central plains.
