1/n Regarding Friday's Burkburnett, TX 5.33" diameter #hail...(Photo: ToniRieScott/FB)

NOAA's Storm Events Database documented 24 other 5"+ hail events in Texas since 1950.

The last one was almost exactly 1 year ago (5/20/2019) in Collingsworth County. 2/n NOAA's database only has four other Texas events with larger #hail than Friday's Burkburnett event.
