5.5 inches in diameter, and seventeen inches in
circumference, weighing a pound and a half.
In 1985 Lightning struck a large transformer in Salt Lake County
sending a 200 foot fireball into the air and blacking out
almost the entire state for up to five hours.

unofficial totals exceeded twelve inches.
In 1987 Thunderstorms produced severe weather in twenty-one
