From the storm reports
Narratives as filed with the NOAA Storm Events Database (public records; lightly trimmed for length).
· 1.0″ (quarter)
Quarter size hail reported near the intersection of Dead Oak Rd and Fox Hollow Dr.
· 4.25″ (grapefruit)
Literally dozens of reports of large damaging hail were received from the public across southern Coweta county from Grantville, Moreland, eastward to Senoia. Most of the hail was the size of golf balls, but hail the size of baseballs, tennis balls, and even isolated reports of grapefruit-sized hail were received from the Grantville area eastward to just south of Moreland.
· 4.25″ (grapefruit)
Very large hail was observed in far northeast Coweta county. Numerous reports of large hail were also received from northeast Coweta county. The hail fell from a supercell that tracked across the northeast part of the county from just south of Palmetto, along the Fulton-Coweta county line to just east of Cannongate along the Fayette county line. The large hail storm continued into northern Fayette county as well.
