A hail storm Wednesday shut down parts of a highway near Amarillo, Texas.
Three to four feet of hail fell when a powerful storm system moved through the area.
According to observers, when you touched the ice, the hail crumbled to the ground. The Texas Department of Transportation had to close northbound highway 287 near Masterson, between Amarillo and Dumas, while snowplows cleared the roads of all the hail.
There were reports that some motorists had to be rescued.
After several hours, police were able to reopen the highway.
