    Thankfully, no.  The largest I've ever seen were the size of quarters (slightly smaller than a golf ball).

    The biggest I ever saw was the size of walnuts and that shocked me. I guess quarters and walnuts are kinda comparable in size. But baseball-size hail? I wonder if that could kill humans too. I guess it could. Thank you for your reply Shuhak and Happy Thursday! :)

    I've never seen hail that big, but there are several photos of this event on Yahoo.  One of my nieces is in Colorado and she posted photos on her Facebook page.

    Wow! A first-person testimonial! Very scary. The largest hail I ever saw was walnut-size and that shocked me. Thank you for your reply L and Happy Thursday. I gather your niece was never in any jeopardy. :)
