Storm trackers in the Texas Panhandle recovered a massive hail stone that researchers say is likely to be a new state record.

Val and Amy Castor, veteran storm chasers with Oklahoma City television station KWTV, discovered a piece of hail more than 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long Sunday along the side of the road near Vigo Park while they were chasing a major thunderstorm system.

Val Castor said the stone was about the size of a pineapple.

    Says it’s the size of a pineapple; compares next to a can of Monster. And not even the larger can of monster, but the regular 16oz. Do they mean a canned pineapple? It does kinda look like a pineapple, though. Oblong and spikey.
