Last week’s freakish storms that dumped egg-sized ice chunks in Indialantic generated the most significant hailstorm event in Brevard County recorded history, the National Weather Service has determined. The morning of March 27, these extraordinary storms swept in from east of Christmas across the Space Coast, intensifying as they tracked to the southeast. Hail the size of nickels and quarters fell for up to 10 minutes across portions of Canaveral Groves, Cocoa, Rockledge, Merritt Island and Satellite Beach, a NWS event summary states. The largest confirmed hailstones measured as large as hen eggs (2 inches in diameter) and golf balls (1.75 inches in diameter), primarily pummeling the Indialantic area.
