The hail size was larger than peas at times.

The hail severely damaged orchard areas and market gardens of Hastings. Fruit was badly bruised.

Lawns and paddocks were white with hail.

In 15 to 20 minutes there were two sharp falls of hail from Twyford to Frimley on the 11th of February.

Some stones were approximately 3 in (7.62 cm) in circumference. The average stone was about mothball size and others were estimated to be the size of pigeon eggs.

The hailstones coated the countryside white.

The hail was heavy enough to caused considerable damage to fruit. Leaves were stripped from the fruit trees and large quantities of the fruit were bruised. The damage to apples, pears and peaches was heavy. It was estimated that 125,000 to 150,000 bushels of pip and stone fruits were damaged by the Twyford-Frimley hail belt. Tomato crops were also extensively damaged.

Individual losses in orchards appeared to have ranged from 25 to 80 percent.

Actual losses amounted to many thousands of pounds.

Between 55-60 growers with an aggregate area of 700 acres (283.3 ha) were affected.

The storm smashed hundreds of glasshouse panes and windows of many houses. One new house had 150 window panes broken.

One owner had a loss of 4000 cases of pip fruit which had an estimated value of £2000 ($128,000 2010 dollars).
