Hail Report Information
Station Number: IA-AP-12
Station Name: Jerome 0.4 W
Date: 7/31/2024 10:59 AM
Submitted 7/31/2024 11:51 AM
Taken at registered location: True
Notes: Began to fall as heavy rain stopped. Quite a din of noise from the roof. Some of the stones were approaching half-dollar size and were flat. As I was watching, someone from the NWS Des Moines called to ask me about it. Almost hung up on him before I realized who it was, so I could watch the fall. Have only seen hail this big or bigger in Ames, Iowa when our poor Datsun was beaten to death by tennis ball-sized in summer of 1980.
