Martin,

I think you are right 5mm is borderline but the American 3/4" I certain Ive
not seen!

I've seen 10mm a couple of times in the UK but not for a while, but saw
hail that was at least 25-30mm during a super cell storm in Indiana in
2000 - IIRC a F3 or 4 tornado touched down 20 miles from us that night.
It was the most impressive storm I've ever seen, lasted over 2 hours
with nearly continuous lightning and golf ball sized hail. I was very
glad to be in a solidly built hotel tracking the storm on the weather
channel whilst watching it through the window.
