On this day in weather history in 1990, the southeastern United States were walloped with strong thunderstorms. These storms which developed ahead of an arctic cold front generated thirteen tornadoes, including a tornado that struck before dawn in Carrollton, GA injuring eleven people. There were over 120 reports of large hail, or damaging winds. How big exactly is a report of “large” hail? Well, Jackson, MS saw hail the size of a baseball – large enough to damage cars and break windows.
