July 30th, 1979 - A forty-minute hailstorm bombed Fort Collins, CO with baseball to softball size hail. Two thousand homes and 2500 automobiles were damaged, and about 25 persons were injured, mainly when hit on the head by the huge stones. Sadly, a three-month-old baby died later of injuries. #WXhistory
