Bellville hit with golf ball-size hail, strong winds

Bellville, a city of 4,200 people and an hour and seven minutes west of Houston, had extensive damage from golf-size hail and strong winds. FOX 26's Randy Wallace has more.

While driving into Bellville, all the hail made it look like snow was covering the ground with thick fog rising from it.

"I've never seen anything like this it was crazy," said Bellville resident, Matt Hughes. 

The hail was so thick in spots, it looked like huge patches of ice and if golf ball size hail wasn't bad enough outside, imagine it in your house.

"We have seven skylights and all the hail busted through the skylights and then it hailed in the house and then rain," Hughes said.

Even Hughes's truck took a beating as did some of his trees.

"I don't know if a tornado was close, but it was quite windy, and you know that whole train sound," he said. "And then I thought the windows were going to bust in it was loud."

Some believe a possible tornado came with all the damaging hail.
