Thunderstorm and Hail Damage in Bemidji?
5/9/2022 (Permalink)
Last year strong thunderstorms produced very large hail in Beltrami County. Reports ranged from golf ball-sized hail and baseball-sized hail! Three tornadoes were reported shortly after the hail reports. Bemidji residents and commercial businesses rely on our Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing team to storm damage quickly and efficiently. Sometimes hail forms when drops of water freeze together in the cold upper regions of thunderstorm clouds. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration classify hailstones by comparing them to the size of a known object as follows:
- Pea = 1/4 inch diameter
- Mothball = 1/2 inch diameter
- Penny = 3/4 inch diameter
- Nickel = 7/8 inch
- Quarter = 1 inch — hail quarter size or larger is considered severe
- Ping-Pong Ball = 1 1/2 inch
- Golf Ball = 1 3/4 inches
- Tennis Ball = 2 1/2 inches
- Baseball = 2 3/4 inches
- Tea cup = 3 inches
- Softball = 4 inches
- Grapefruit = 4 1/2 inches
