This hailstone is not a meteorite. Still I would not
want either me or my car to where it fell.

Heavy hailstone may smash U.S. record Giant ice chunk fell
near Vivian last week by Jeff Martin,Sioux Falls Argus Leader

"The hailstone weighed almost 2 pounds. It was 18.5 inches in 
circumference and 8 inches in diameter when measured over 
the weekend, after considerable melting."

South Dakota hailstone might be world record by Associated 
Press, Pioneer Press, Twin Cities
