They call those things “Gorrillas”. Actually a whole lot of hailstones cemented into one huge icy lump. Being very jaggetty, they can be very dangerous.

Looks to me as if this is another CNN blunder after they sacked their science divison. The hailstone is 8 inches in diameter and 19 inches in circumference. Yesterday CNN stated an Indian Provence had received 704 mm of rain equating to 12 inches -not the 28 inches it really was.
