00:00I hope everyone in the heartland is ready for the storm of the century,
00:03because on July 21st, 4.6 million Americans across Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, Montana,
00:12North Dakota, and South Dakota were under threat from severe thunderstorms.
00:19This storm system brought with it multiple hazards,
00:22including damaging high winds, large hail, and impossible tornadoes.
00:27The most concerning thing about this system, though, was the damaging high winds.
00:32That's because some gusts were reported to be as high as 85 miles per hour.
00:36But the other big threat with this storm system was the large hail.
00:41Some of those hailstones were reported to be as big as 2.5 inches in diameter,
00:46which is about the size of an egg,
00:48especially from southern Nebraska all the way up to the Canadian border.
