The body of the last person missing from a boat that capsized on Lake Tahoe in California during a sudden and powerful weekend thunderstorm has been found, bringing the death toll to eight. The Coast Guard says swells of more than 8 feet were recorded around the time the 27-foot gold Chris-Craft vessel flipped over Saturday afternoon. Two people were rescued immediately and taken to a hospital in unknown condition. Six bodies were recovered later Saturday and a seventh was found Sunday evening. Divers searched a section of Lake Tahoe and found the last body Monday afternoon. Meteorologists say the intensity of the thunderstorm surprised even forecasters.

Dozens of researchers are chasing, driving and running into storms to collect fresh hail, getting their car bodies and their own bodies dented in the name of science. They hope these hailstones will reveal secrets about storms, damage and maybe the air itself. But what do you do with nearly 4,000 melting iceballs? A lot. Researchers in the first-of-its-kind Project ICECHIP to study hail are measuring the hailstones, weighing them, slicing them, crushing them, chilling them, driving them across several states, seeing what’s inside of them and in some cases — which frankly is more about fun and curiosity — eating them.

Three people are dead and a regional airport has been heavily damaged after powerful winds including a tornado swept across the upper U.S. Midwest. Cass County Sheriff Jesse Jahner said at a news conference Saturday that two men and a woman were killed late Friday at two locations in the town of Enderlin, North Dakota. Enderlin is about 40 miles southwest of Fargo. The National Weather Service in Grand Forks said a tornado hit a home just east of Enderlin. It also reported wind gusts of up to 106 mph at Bemidji Regional Airport overnight in Minnesota.
