What the National Weather Service wrote

A supercell thunderstorm that moved through the area roughly eight miles south of Follett produced very large hail. Ping pong ball size hail fell along FM1454 between Follett and Higgins. Additionally, several spotters observed and measured hailstones of 3.24 inches to 3.4 inches. It was likely that some of these stones had melted by the time the measurement had occurred and larger hail may have fallen.

The wider storm

Supercell thunderstorms moved southeast through the northeastern combined Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles on the 28th of May. These storms first produced large hail up to 1.75' and wind gusts upwards of 87 mph, as well as a funnel cloud in Beaver County. As one of these storms moved into Lipscomb County in the Texas Panhandle, it produced hail that reached up to three inches in diameter.

Began near Follett (36.3200, -100.1300).
