Hail pieces as large as 1.25 inches in diameter fell from the sky that day, the Weather Channel reported.

“A massive hail storm heading east,” Peterson wrote on Facebook. “I was on the back side of it with the sun shining on the hail coming down. The dark area is rain and the light is hail. I only had a few seconds to get the pic with the sun shining on the hail.”

Peterson said the photo was shot with an HDR setting and wasn’t photoshopped.
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!
