Английская Википедия:2012 Hawaii hailstorm
Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox storm On the morning of March 9, 2012, a long-lived hailstorm hit the Hawaiian islands of Oahu and Lanai. The hailstorm was produced by a supercell thunderstorm. This event produced the largest hailstone ever recorded in Hawaii since records began in 1950. The hailstone was measured at Шаблон:Convert long, Шаблон:Convert tall, and Шаблон:Convert wide.[1] National Weather Service meteorologist Tom Birchard stated that the event was "unprecedented."[2]
In addition to the spectacular early-morning lightning storms and flooding from the Шаблон:Convert of rainfall received, a tornadic waterspout formed off the coast of Oahu during the morning of March 9, 2012. Non-supercellular waterspouts are not uncommon (the State of Hawaii records an average of one waterspout/tornado per year), this mesocyclone-induced waterspout tracked inland for 1.5 miles, becoming an EF0 tornado that caused minor damage to the Enchanted Lakes subdivision of Kailua at 7:10 am Hawaiian-Aleutian Time.[3]
