We had hail like that in April 2016 in Helotes It was going through windows and ripping cars to pieces.

That’s crazy big!!! You’ll have a lot of damage when the sun rises unfortunately.
We had the wildest lighting I’ve ever seen and it lasted for well over an hour. Wild storms tonight,

Looks like I got really lucky. No damage I can see. Not one dent on my pickup. (That's because it's a Ford CCBIRDDOGMAN. LOL)
This was a weird storm as far as hail goes. I only heard about 15 hits and most of those was on my back porch that has a metal roof. I only saw about 3-4 total in my yard. They were just big.

Supposedly fell near Sanger this evening. Wonder how much livestock and crop damage has occurred with all these storms?

Dang, that's some really bad hail. We lost power around midnight and they don't have an estimated restoration time. Just checked and between Gregg and Harrison county there are over 72K outages. This is going to take a few hours to sort out. Got the generator rocking and washing the power thru our UPS back up systems. Mom's got to have her TV and Coffee, must have Coffee.

I saw softball sized in the late 70s. Someone was killed by it at Mayfest that year. My buddy had it come THROUGH the roof and into his house.

Supposedly fell near Sanger this evening. Damn, those are bombs! I watch that storm last night, it was north of me, and was a blob of red on radar and stayed north of the metromess and traveled East, South East across Texas all night, probably dropping hail bombs all the way. All these hail storms are just goanna drive up insurance cost.

These storms are weird. It's almost like I got hail and my next-door neighbor didn't.

I’m in Van Alstyne, we got some hail and high winds. Wind damage looks like it may be tornado related. My truck has about 15-20 dings in it. I’m assuming close to golf ball sized hail. There just wasn’t much of the big stuff, very sporadic

There just wasn’t much of the big stuff, very sporadic I believe you did have tornado activity. Hard to tell in the dark. Weather people will be out to determine if it was a tornado. Damage is damage, so, it really doesn't matter.

There has been more hail this year than I remember in the last 10 combined.
Saw pics of baseball size between Joshua and Burleson earlier in the week.
The tornado at Perryton decimated that town yesterday. Bad stuff all around.

Sunday night here in Flower Mound, we started with marble size, it stopped after 4-5 minutes, then started up again as golf ball with the occasional racquet ball to tennis ball sized mixed in. Lasted about 3-5 minutes as well. I understand that just 2-3 miles NW of us towards Double Oak, they got 10 minutes straight of only baseball or bigger hail causing much damage. My two kids took a few dings on their car roofs and 1-2 on the hood but not enough to even worry about filing a claim as it won't meet deductible.

We had real high winds last night and lost power a couple of times just for a couple of minutes but no rain or hail this time. I found a 2x2 section of shingles on the back porch last night and this morning saw another section with shingles standing up. I guess I need to call the man

We got lucky and didn’t have any damage. Just the annoying sized limbs that are too small to pick up with the tractor and too big to just run over with the lawn mower. Hailed for probably 15 minutes but didn’t do any damage. Winds were nuts as was the lightning. No power for about two hours and internet has been out 12 plus.
I hear Canton and East got walloped pretty good with baseball sized hail 80+ mph winds if not a couple brief spin up tornadoes.
