One storm moved through Jones County, dropping large hail near Jeffery Craigโs home in the Tuckers Crossing community.
Storm Reports (3/4/2020) (WSLS)Yes, he used a McDonaldโs sauce packet!
Jeffery, by chance could you measure the length of that sauce packet?
โ NWS Jackson MS (@NWSJacksonMS) March 4, 2020Jeffery responded that the sauce packet measured 2.375 inches, so the NWS meteorologists concluded that the hailstone was close to tennis-ball sized, about 2.5 inches.
While this is a hilarious way to send in a storm report, we suggest you use the typical objects to measure hail size the next time we see any in southwest Virginia.
