Two strong thunderstorms passing through the area Wednesday night produced baseball-sized hail.
Baseball-sized hail fell in Dallas on June 13, 2012, and damage may top $400 million.
Damage from the swath of strong thunderstorms that pummeled the Dallas area with baseball-sized hail late Wednesday could top $400 million.
The hailstorms were the worst in the North Texas and Dallas area since April 2003, smashing everything from car windows to the marquee of a landmark theater, the National Weather Service said told Reuters on Thursday.

Hundreds of millions of dollars in insured losses are likely, and damages may even top the $400 million in losses from a series of tornadoes two months ago, the Insurance Council of Texas said.
"This was definitely a multimillion-dollar hail storm," National Weather Service meteorologist Jason Dunn told Reuters. "A lot of car windshields were blown out and roofs damaged in Dallas."

No injuries were reported in the Wednesday night storms, The Associated Press reported.
Forecasters told the Dallas Morning News that remnants of previous storms this week coupled with Wednesday’s warm weather caused the unexpectedly severe weather.
Dallas resident Kevin Turner used his iPhone to film hail the size of tennis balls smashing nearly every glass panel in his attached greenhouse.
“At the time, I couldn’t see it very well,” he told the Dallas Morning News, “but now watching it and rewatching it, it hurts every time.”
After hurricanes, hailstorms are the costliest in terms of insurance losses in Texas, worst than tornadoes because of the larger footprint of damage, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
