BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. – Traffic cameras showed a deluge of dent-makers on Interstate 95 in Brevard County as hail rained down in the area Wednesday, bringing traffic to a standstill until the weather weakened somewhat.
All of Central Florida was placed under a severe thunderstorm watch as the state braced for potentially intense storm coverage on Wednesday, the likes of which left baseball-sized hail in Lake County the day prior.
News 6 Chief Meteorologist Tom Sorrells went on air before the 4 p.m. newscast to pinpoint impacts and hailstone action.
“Some of those were estimated to be 3-inch hailstones, but what is verifying on the ground is almost Christmas-white again this afternoon; not Lake County, but in Southern Brevard. This is I-95, close to Ellis Road,” he said.
