Answer:
A hailstorm is a thunderstorm that produces hail. Hail is a type of solid precipitation in the form of a piece of ice, from the size of a green pea to the (current world record) size of a bowling ball, also referred to as “hailstones”. Any thunderstorm has the potential to generate hail, but it is more common in areas near mountain ranges where masses of cold and warm air collide. In the US, hailstorms are common from the Dakotas to Texas, Colorado to Missouri. The same thunderstorms that generate tornados have are likely to bring along the slightly less flashy, but more costly, hail in it’s wake, compounding an already intense weather event.
Many communities have early warning systems for severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and even excessive rain. If you have a local siren system, be sure you are familiar with it. Stay informed on the local weather forecast and if you hear see lightning and hear thunder less than 30 seconds later, seek shelter because a storm may be nearby. You can sign up for severe weather alerts on your cell phone which will let you know as soon as an alert or warning is issued, sometimes days in advance of a weather event. Where you live, there is likely a time of year when thunderstorms are much more common. This would be when you are most at risk for hail damage so note the start of the season and make annual plans to prepare before it begins.
