What the National Weather Service wrote

A storm chaser near Fort Drum reported quarter sized hail.

The wider storm

A deepening mid-level trough and associated strong cold front moved across north/central Florida. Conditions ahead and along the cold front were favorable for severe thunderstorms as an 80-90 knot jet maxima produced sufficient upper level divergence. These conditions produced an enhanced risk of severe weather, sparking several rounds of severe thunderstorms, which affected Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Brevard and Okeechobee Counties.

Began near Ft Drum (27.5400, -80.7400).
