The October 29, 2007 Hailstorm


During the afternoon of October 29, 2007, violent thunderstorms produced large hail and flooding over parts of the San Joaquin Valley. I intercepted a cell near Laton and observed large hail verifying a warning for my co-workers.


Time line of the chase (all times PDT).

544 PM - A supercell north of Hanford. I have decided to intercept it to take a closer look.
