Ellis County saw large hail up the size of baseballs in the Ellis and Hays area. The Ellis County Sheriff’s Office said some of the hail was so big that it busted windows out in a couple of its cruisers. A rotating cloud was also spotted to the southwest of Hays.

Heavy rain also caused widespread street flooding.
