00:00Massive hail up to 2.75 inches across pummeled five U.S. states overnight as the same severe
00:07outbreak that produced deadly Mississippi tornadoes spread destruction in every direction.
00:12Hail that big, bigger than a baseball, destroys car windshields, punches through asphalt shingles,
00:19and can kill livestock left in open pastures. Reports came in from Tucker, Mississippi,
00:25and Waugh, Alabama, while damaging wind gusts of 70 miles per hour ripped through Louisiana and
00:32East Texas. The Storm Prediction Center had warned of a level three of five enhanced risk
00:37before the supercells fired. And forecasters say a similar setup could reload Thursday afternoon.
00:44Insurance industry data shows hail is now the costliest single weather threat in the United
00:49States. Billions in losses every year. If you live anywhere in the south-central United States,
00:55get vehicles undercover before sunset. Move outdoor furniture inside. Park away from windows.
01:02When the next round fires, you will not have time to scramble. Prepare now.
