Storm trackers in the Texas Panhandle have recovered a massive hail stone that's about the size of a pineapple. It could be a new state record.

Storm trackers in the Texas Panhandle recovered a massive hail stone that researchers say is likely to be a new state record.

Val and Amy Castor, veteran storm chasers with Oklahoma City television station KWTV, discovered a piece of hail more than 7 inches (17.78 centimeters) long Sunday along the side of the road near Vigo Park while they were chasing a major thunderstorm system.

Val Castor said the stone was about the size of a pineapple.

    I presume we’ll hear Texas Republicans tell us that this huge hail stone shows that ice in June is possible, therefore there is no global warming.

      Global warming? If Earth is getting hotter then how could I have all this money from Big Oil?
