The storm cut a swath on a relatively straight line from Vesper through Marathon, Merrill, and Tomahawk, and in isolated cells elsewhere. Wausau Wisconsin had reports of Nickel sized to 1.75 inch Hail on Friday evening. Initial damage reports saw many roofs destroyed and cars with some damage. The storm that produced this hail also came with 55 plus mph winds and stretched clear across central Wisconsin.
Georgia Hail Storm includes Atlanta
North Georgia Hail Damage Report
Hail storms moved through northern Georgia, including the Atlanta metro area, yesterday evening and last night. It is obviously very early in the game for there to be much in the way of storm damage reporting but initial assessments of the Georgia hail damage reports is that most of them were exaggerated. The vast majority of hail is pea to quarter size hail stones, and not very many of them. There were a few images of hail stones capable of producing hail damage to cars and those are listed below.
