Enormous hailstones measuring up to 2.75 inches pummeled five states in the US overnight as a severe outbreak that led to deadly tornadoes in Mississippi also unleashed destructive wind gusts reaching 70 mph across Louisiana and East Texas. Reports emerged from locations such as Tucker, Mississippi, and Waugh, Alabama. The Storm Prediction Center had indicated a heightened risk level of 3 out of 5, and meteorologists suggest that the conditions could regenerate Thursday afternoon in the South Central US.
