I was pretty scared myself. The hail was hitting side of my place so hard I thought it was going to break thru into my shower enclosure (which is on an outside wall) and sky was black and lots of lightning. I just don't remember EVER getting hail this big for many years where I live. We are over on the Lake Hamilton side of Hot Springs across the bridge
I live in area that got hit the hard it appears. One of my neighbors says she saw rotation as well. Trees are down and lots of leaves too so that would not suruprise me. Someone submitted this photo:
Videos from TV station of people down road on the Lake, and also I went out and took photos of people's vehicles.

Amazing how much sheer damage a mere 6 minutes of hail this size can do. Been running around with my extra tarps and duct tape trying to help mostly more elderly neighbors who don't have supplies ---- but I am one of those people who buys stuff BEFORE an emergency I guess from being a volunteer for a fire department years ago, so I do have "the stuffs". People were going out to buy tarps and I betcha there wasn't a tarp to be found w/in 25 miles at this point cuz I never seen so many damaged vehicles like this.
One of my neighbors was at the car wash when it started, nobody could pull up far enough inside the autowash and so the back of her car was totally exposed, and as she was sitting there, her back window just blew out. She got home and was still tearful. I walked up and down the street and there's got to be at least 30 vehicles with blown out rear or front windows, dents, sideview mirrors, etc. One neighbor who must have got hit "in just the right way" and both of their living room windows are blown out completely, curtains are blowing in the breeze.
My photos of people's cars (my toyota Tacoma was absolutely FINE). Zero damage and it was sitting outside taking the full brunt. Go figure.
