The National Weather Service said a hailstone from Sanger in Denton County on June 15 measured 5.9 inches in diameter, which is a new record in North Texas!

To put that in perspective, a softball's diameter is 3.5 inches.

The hailstone, which was found, measured and preserved by Chris Yeatman, also weighed .85 pounds.

The NWS Storm Survey team took a look at the hailstone and verified the measurements.

Several FOX 4 viewers from Sanger sent in photos of large hail on the night of the 15th.
