A hailstorm pummeled the Chicago area on Tuesday evening, along with plenty of rain and damaging winds. ⁠ ⁠ Photos and videos shared by NBC Chicago viewers show the wave of "destructive," unusually large hail of various sizes. Some pieces were smaller than quarters and others as big as baseballs -- or larger.⁠ ⁠ The National Weather Service's Chicago office said in a Facebook post at 5:55 p.m. multiple reports of golf ball-sized and tennis ball-sized hail had been received in the Woodridge, Downers Grove, Darien and Westmont areas.⁠ ⁠ Tap the 🔗 in our bio for details⁠ ⁠ #hail #hailstorm #chicago #storm #thunderstorm
