Tennis Ball-Sized Hail Kills Birds at Fort Worth Zoo

Severe storms hit the Fort Worth area Thursday morning, bringing hail that killed some of the birds in the city's zoo and forced it to delay opening. A zoo spokesperson tells Fox 4 News that at least two ducks, a pelican, and four or five flamingos were killed when storms hit the zoo around 6:30am. USA Today reports that some of the hail was tennis ball-sized, and it also caused "massive damage" to cars. A ground stop was issued for flights into Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport until 9am local time. (More hail stories.)
