September Hail Storm!?!? Kansas Defies The Odds…Again | S2 E4 | HailChatter | HailTrace

Wichita, Kansas just lived through a rare September run of severe weather — two hailstorms in a week and reports of softball-size hail in southern Kansas.

In this episode of HailChatter, Meteorologist Taylor Cox and Collin Hunt react to storm chaser Justin Hugh’s wild story of being pummeled by 5” hailstones and having his car struck by lightning during a similar September hailstorm back in 2010.

They also give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Meteorologists tracked the September 3, 2025 hailstorm that slammed Wichita, Kansas.
