I need to know if hail ever killed anyone, how big was it and when and where NEED INFO

Answer 1

This is a news article from Britain:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2004/11/07/wind07.xml&sSheet=/news/2004/11/07/ixworld.html

And these are more recent accounts from this website (http://www.andthensome.com/weather/severeweather/hail.htm):

"Seemingly authentic reports of hailstorms killing people have come from around the world, notably from China and India, whose populations are very concentrated. In northern India in 1888, hailstones as large as cricket balls (about the size of a baseball) reportedly killed 246 persons as well as 1,600 sheep and goats. Another storm, in western Hunan Province in southeastern China, was said to have killed 200 people and injured thousands in 1932. In the United States, eight persons were reported by the South Carolina Gazette to have been killed by a hailstorm along the Wateree River on May 8, 1784. Other North American reports of deaths from hail came from Broome, Quebec, in 1879; Uvalde, Texas, in 1909; Windsor, North Carolina, in 1931; and near Toronto, Ontario, In 1976.

Only two deaths have been authenticated by the National Weather Service (formerly the U.S. Weather Bureau). The first occurred on May 13, 1939, near Lubbock, Texas. A 39-year-old farmer died of injuries received when he was caught in an open field during a severe hailstorm. More recently, an infant lying in its mother's arms was killed by hail at Fort Collins, Colorado, on July 30,1979."
