Largest hailstone ever recorded was from South Dakota, measured 8 inches and two pounds! Clear hail formed slowly and opaque hail formed quickly.

The size of hail is dependent on the strength of the updraft. The stronger the updraft, the larger the hail. Interesting!

The atmospheric distortion cause by lightning (super hot to super cold quickly) is what creates the shock wave of sound we know as thunder.

“Lightning helps transfer negative charge back to the earth. ... (it) also aids in fertilizing plants by breaking down the nitrogen in our atmosphere so it can mix with hydrogen and oxygen to form nitrates. These fall to the earth in rainwater, creating a fertilizer that plants can turn into the proteins needed by animals.”
