Sounds bad :( 

Quote:

Late on Wednesday night, a tornado estimated to be a half-mile wide directly hit Jefferson City, Missouri. Just before midnight, the violent storm hit the city head on and caused catastrophic damage to the city and town. Amidst reports of people trapped in their homes, authorities called this a “mass casualty event,” while scanner traffic indicated that multiple rescues were underway, with multiple people found with injuries.

"LARGEST HAIL WAS ESTIMATED TO BE 3 INCHES. BUT THERE WERE PILES OF SMALLER HAIL A FOOT DEEP. WINDSHIELDS OF CARS WERE PUNCHED THROUGH. TIME ESTIMATED FROM RADAR."


Ouch. You don't want to be driving with 3 inch hail coming down. Biggest I saw was about 2 inches when I was out there chasing.
