[2] 3 September 1970 Coffeyville, Kansas, US At the time the largest hailstone ever found in the U.S., measuring 5.7 in (140 mm) diameter, 17.5 in (440 mm) circumference, and 1.67 lb (760 g). 30 July 1979 Fort Collins, Colorado, US
The largest hail is believed to have fallen over Offley, which sits to the southwest of Hitchin.
