Watch Softball Sized Hailstone Embed Itself Into Windshield

It's been quite a month of severe weather in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa as wave after wave of big hail, big wind, big floods and a few tornadoes have repeatedly raked the region.    
Chris Sheen took this incredible photo of a tornado
in Nebraska on Saturday.  

So it was yesterday and last night, again. There were at least 10 reports of tornadoes.

Like previous rounds of severe outbreaks over the past four weeks, the main story was huge hail, incredible winds and floods.

There were multiple reports of hail to the size of baseballs or even larger in Nebraska and Kansas.

Winds were clocked at 89 mph near Atwood, Kansas and 86 mph near Wall, South Dakota and Phillipsburg, Kansas.

Torrential rains hit parts of the region. Sioux Falls, South Dakota reported its wettest 24 hour period on record, with 4.65 inches of rain and still counting as of early this morning.  Nasty flooding is hitting that area.

The forecast for this same area of the country isn't so good over the next few days, with more of the same kind of weather expected.

Here's a video of big hail from inside a storm chasing van. Watch how the hailstone embeds itself into the windshield. YIKES!!!
