Dozens of vehicles and numerous homes sustained significant damage from the hailstorm that impacted the city of Canton and surrounding areas.

The wider storm

An approaching cold front interacted with an unseasonably warm and humid airmass to trigger severe thunderstorms west of the I-55 corridor during the afternoon and evening of April 10th. Given ample cold air aloft, many of the cells produced very large hail...with the largest hailstones up to the size of tennis balls occurring in Canton in Fulton County.
