Enormous Hail
Stones Fall—
CELIA — About 6:30 o’clock
Sunday evening at the Mark and
Joe Hendricks ranches, about 15
miles north of Atkinson, there
was a hard downpour of rain ac
companied by scattered hail
stones. Some of the stones were
enormous. One was 14 inches in
circumference and hundreds of
the stones measured 6- and 10
inches in circumference. These
measurements were taken some
time after the storm, which
means the stones might have
shrunk a little by melting.
The Frontier’s correspondent
in that locality, Mrs. O. A. Ham
merberg, reported that those
larger hail stones had very jag
ged edges and the rain and hail
were accompanied by a strong
wind. The hail, she said, didn t
do too much damage. The storm
was short-lived but the stones,
what few of them that fell, were
enormous.
Four miles west of the Hend
ricks places there was up to 2
inches of rainfall and hailstones
that compared in size with base
balls at the Milton McKathnie
place. A number of chickens were
killed at the Ed Bausch farm,
east of McKathnie’s.
