Vigo Park, Texas — Storm trackers in the Texas Panhandle recovered a massive hail stone that researchers say is likely to be a new state record.
Val and Amy Castor, veteran storm chasers with Oklahoma City television station KWTV, discovered a piece of hail more than 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long Sunday along the side of the road near Vigo Park while they were chasing a major thunderstorm system.

Val Castor said the stone was about the size of a pineapple.
“That’s the biggest hail I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been chasing storms for more than 30 years,” Castor said.
Castor said several baseball-sized hail stones fell while he was driving, including one that cracked his windshield, before he spotted the big piece in a ditch on the side of the road.
“I could see it from probably 100 yards away,” he said.
The massive hail stone is believed to be a new state record, topping a 6.4-inch (16.25-centimeter) hail stone found in Hondo in 2021.
Rockies left fielder Sean Bouchard exited Wednesday’s home matchup against the Cincinnati Reds due to a right ankle sprain.
“It didn’t look good,” Black said.
In the eighth inning, Bouchard tried to reach first base on a sacrifice fly but began limping as he crossed the bag. He was on the ground for a moment, as he was looked at by trainers before being helped off the diamond.
Bouchard was replaced by outfielder Brenton Doyle, who was immediately caught trying to steal second base.
This season, Bouchard has a .208 batting average with a home run, six RBI and three stolen bases in 24 games.
