A barrage of strong thunderstorms spread a trail of damage across the South over the weekend, as strong gusty winds teamed with large hail to wreak havoc from the lower Mississippi Valley to the Southeast coast.  

According to preliminary reports from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC), there were 288 reports of hail an inch or larger in diameter from Saturday morning through Sunday night, spanning nine states from Texas to South Carolina.  

Coincident with the hail, several communities experienced damaging wind gusts from storms. Authorities also received reports of several tornadoes on Saturday in southern Georgia, the strongest near Brewton with wind speeds estimated around 100 mph.  

There were no reports of any injuries from the storms.  

The hailstones, generally characterized by many as the size of quarters to golf balls (1.00-1.75 inches in diameter), damaged countless homes, businesses and vehicles.

The hail shattered car windshields in Moreland, Ga., on Saturday, ripped holes through the side of a house in Coweta County, Ga., on Saturday night, and damaged more vehicles in Pritchardville, S.C., on Sunday.  

According to the National Weather Service, a credible source even reported grapefruit-sized hail (4.25 inches) near Senoia, Ga.  

In some cases, the hail fell so violently and quickly that it reduced visibility enough to convince residents a tornado was passing through. This also resulted in hail covering the ground as much as an inch deep in some areas.

A complete rundown of severe weather reports and damage is available on the SPC website for both Saturday and Sunday.  

More thunderstorms will continue to rumble through the region today, while another storm dropping out of the Rockies could bring strong storms to Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday.
