De hagelsteen (zie foto's hieronder), die op 15 september rond 18 uur in de buurt van Pawnee en 119e Street in West Wichita viel, kan de grootste hagelsteen ooit zijn die in de staat Kansas gevallen is. De hagelsteen had een diameter van 19.7 centimeter en een omtrek van 39.4 centimeter. De hagelsteen woog ongeveer 0.6 kilo. De omtrek en het gewicht werden officieel gemeten 15 uur nadat de hagelsteen viel. Het vorige record stond op naam van Coffeyville. Daar werd destijds (op 3 september 1970) een hagelsteen van 14.5 centimeter in diameter gemeten en had een omtrek van 44.6 centimeter.

Die vind ik wel erg mooi. Duidelijk zeer sterke rotatie (violet naar lichtgroen) in deze HP-Supercell. Geen wonder dat er zo'n grote hagel kon vallen daar. | Gewijzigd: 21 september 2010, 21:15 uur, door Onweerfreak
