What the National Weather Service wrote

A picture and video on social media showed 1 inch sized hail along Wye Road near Lakeland.

The wider storm

A cold front extending from low pressure centered over Iowa was draped across southwestern Louisiana early morning on May 21st. As an upper level disturbance swung around the southern periphery of a larger scale trough, it will forced the front southeastward through the local area. Modest instability and lift from this boundary was enough forcing to produce a few severe thunderstorms with large hail.

Began near Knapp (30.5600, -91.4300).
