Sunday night's severe weather brought large hail to the Hickman and Roca area, including the popular Roca pumpkin patch and strawberry farm, Roca Berry Farm.

The farm saw two rounds of hail Sunday night, including nickel sized hail around 8 p.m. and at least golf ball sized hall around 6:30 p.m., which the farm owners said lasted for about 20 minutes.

Jeff and Beverly Schaefer said the hail sounded like gun shots hitting their grill and cars outside. The hail cracked every barn sky light on their farm and they said they have about 30 total.

Tin on the barns is also dented, along with some foam pumpkins that are a part of the pumpkin patch and cars sitting outside.

The hail didn't just do property damage, but also crop damage to the farm's strawberry fields.

"We haven't had a crop for about three years now," Jeff Schaefer said. "It's either been frost, or this year we've had some frost, but now this hail."

The couple said it's thankful the hail didn't come during the summer and damage their pumpkin crops, which they make about 99 percent of their income from.

The Schaefer's plan to contact their insurance company to assess Sunday night's damage.
