This is the dramatic moment styrofoam-like hail stones fall on homes in Wisconsin.

Footage shows the ice balls pounding a yard in Neenah on April 28, with frozen chunks rapidly accumulating and covering the ground.

The event occurred as severe storms swept through the Upper Midwest. The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Centre had issued warnings for large hail and the potential for tornadoes.

Hailstones form when raindrops are carried by thunderstorm updrafts into freezing areas of the atmosphere. As they rise, they freeze and grow by colliding with other raindrops that freeze onto them. This can also occur during spring and summer thunderstorms.
