After Gina Brown found a huge haillstone in her backyard, she preserved it in her freezer so experts could travel to Texas to 3D scan and measure the stone.
, and preserved the hailstone she found in her freezer following severe weather in the area. This gave the IBHS a chance to travel down south and gather some information on the possibly record-breaking hail.
Gropp says after 3D scanning the hailstone, her and her team at IBHS are then able to create a 3D printed model of the stone. The model is then used in research and helps IBHS learn more on how a hailstone travels within a thunderstorm. IBHS has flown 3D printed hailstone inside a vertical wind tunnel to see how it flies.
