When the town of Vivian in South Dakota was battered with strong winds and scattered with giant hailstones during a heavy storm in July 2010 they broke the record for the largest hailstone ever to be recorded in the US. The whopping item, known as a hail bomb, measured eight inches in diameter (45.7cm), 18.625 inches (47.3cm) in circumference and weighed 1.9375 pounds (879g).
