Answer:

HERE IS YOUR ANSWER.

Perhaps one of the most destructive effects of hailstorms can be observed on farms. A hailstorm with powerful winds can physically damage crops across large areas. The falling hailstones and strong winds bend and break plants and strip them of leaves and bark. Thus, farmers suffer heavy losses during such storms.

Hail is a form of frozen precipitation which occurs when water droplets are suspended aloft inside a thunderstorm by its powerful updraft where air temperatures are well below freezing. The hailstones continue to slowly grow in size until they’re too heavy to be supported by the thunderstorm updraft and fall to the ground. The more intense the updraft of the thunderstorm, the longer the hailstones are held aloft, and the larger they become. The requirement of a powerful thunderstorm with the presence of a very strong updraft for large hail development explains why severe hail often accompanies other severe weather hazards such as damaging winds, flooding rains, and tornadoes. In the most severe cases, the updraft speed in these powerful thunderstorms exceeds 100 mph.

In the United States, hail is most common across the Central Plains, with Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming making up what is known as “Hail Alley”. Year-to-year results will vary however, with Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, and Oklahoma leading the way in 2017 in damaging hail (greater than 1” diameter) reports. The map below displays all severe hail reports that occurred in 2017.
