I would say that the hailstones that I saw were larger than pea size. Fortunately, they weren't the size of marbles like we used to play with as a kid.
However, it was the force of the wind that made them sound so bad as they hit our windows. Our front door is recessed about 8 feet from the front edge of the roof overhang and the hail stones were hitting our front storm door like crazy.
I would guess that the wind was blowing the stones sideways at about 35 mph as the hail was coming down. At that velocity, it wouldn't take a very large hailstone to break a window.
