Of course, hail is ice and when it melts it gets smaller. But not around here, our neighbors are now saying it was baseball size, so it has gotten bigger!

I drove through Branson right around that time. Probably just a tad after the big stuff, but it was still raining hard. Clouds looked nasty all the way from Clinton to right before we got close to Branson. We were headed down to a place called Flippin, Arkansas. Stayed in a place right on the White River about 8 to 10 miles down river from Bull Shoals Dam. Beautiful area. Water was crystal clear in the River.
