    • During 2023, reports of baseball-sized hail (over 3 inches) in Colorado surged nearly threefold since 2019, climbing from 12 to 34, pointing to more frequent extreme hail events.

    • Similarly, reports of softball-sized hail (approximately 4 inches) increased to 13 in 2023, according to NWS Denver, nearly tripling earlier counts and signaling a worrying escalation in storm intensity.

    Aside from property damage, I imagine that it kinda sucks to be caught outside if softball-sized hail is coming down.
