We got that also.. here is a picture from our back porch of it coming down.. it was bigger than golf balls.
The ground around here looked like someone had taken a weed wacker to the trees. all the deciduous trees were totally beaten up.

Oh, that's large. on the other hand, put all four together and you will see the kind of hail we have in Oklahoma. a few years back we had some the size of grapefruits that broke the cement tile we had for a roof. hail of any size is bad, the very least, it shreds the plants.

I am still raking up branches, leaves and sticks in my yard. The hail here at my house was baseball size last Saturday. The weather people here said the largest hailstones in this area on Sat. were 5 1/2 inches in diameter. I have had the roof looked at already, we will see what the insurance co. says.

Glad you are ok.
My DS who is a trucker, was there yesterday when it hit. He said it was awful. He didn't know whether to pull over some where or keep going. He opted for the latter.
Stay safe.
