Viewers send photos, videos of hail and lightning as severe thunderstorms roll through San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO — A line of severe thunderstorms moved through the San Antonio area Friday night, bringing large hail and strong winds on the last Friday of Fiesta. 

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect for parts of Bexar and surrounding counties until 9 p.m. Friday, elevating the danger potential for anyone at Fiesta events in the evening. 

Golf-ball sized hail rained down on Pipe Creek as the storms approached San Antonio, while pea-sized hail fell in various neighborhoods across the Alamo City. 

Check out some of the storm and jail photos that KENS 5 viewers sent in Friday evening.
