What the National Weather Service wrote

A slow moving hail storm moved north out of Carlyss and into Sulphur. While the largest hail occurred in south of Sulphur reports of stones to 2.5 inches still were received. Numerous vehicles were damaged and many roofs had to be repaired.

The wider storm

A cold front moved into the region during the 8th and stalled along the coast. Multiple strong upper level disturbances cross the area while the front was stalled and this produced multiple rounds of severe weather and flooding.

Began near Sulphur (30.2270, -93.3590).
