On this day in 1987: A large, fast-moving cluster of severe thunderstorms resulted in numerous reports of golfball sized hail across southeast Louisiana. The large hail damaged several vehicles In Tangipahoa and St. Tammany Parishes and also the roofs on a few homes. In Plaquemines Parish, a small airplane flew too close to one of the strong thunderstorms and large hail broke its windshield and put holes in the plane's skin.
