Storm chaser and photographer Mike Hollingshead recently took some eye-opening photographs of the damage caused by a hail storm in the small town of Blair, Nebraska.
His photographs show cars with smashed windshields, houses with cracked and broken tiles, fallen trees and debris on the roads, all unfortunate casualties of the storm’s wrath.
According to Hollingshead, he had been following what he thought was a tornado, and said the hailstones were the size of grapefruits.
