Hail storm....

Well I was sitting in my room minding my own business when I heard some loud noises. Then I heard people going outside and my mom called for me to "come see". So I ran upstairs to see what she wanted. Well it turns out the noises I heard was a sudden but very brief hail storm. My mom had run outside to grab some of the hail because it was so huge. So I took a pic. Keep in mind that the hail had melted a little already.

Well while I was taking the pic the sky opened up again!! I ran to the front window to get some more pics.

The street in front of my house.

Finally it was over so I ran outside to get a close up pic.

Woah! Those are BIG hailstones! :eek:

We dont really get storms like that round here. which is good because my dogs would be terrified!:rolleyes:

Hi! Did you get any damage from the hailstones? They looked big enough to cause some damage! I hope your car wasn't hurt(little dents).

Neat!!! OK...neat for me, the native Southern Californian.... ;)

Your pictures sure are pretty. So fresh and clean looking.

I think we've gotten hail once, or that's the only time I remember. :p

Very cool! The little hail stones on the ground remind me of 'Dippin' Dots' icecream. ;) He he.

I'm too scared to go look, LOL I've only had my car for a few months, I don't want little dents all over it. LOL I'll go out and check once it stops pouring.

I hope not either! It sure looks like a beautiful car. What kind is it?

That is so cool! I've only seen it once in my lifetime and that was in Texas. Hope your car isn't damaged. That would really suck. I know car businesses have good sales after those because of damage.

I hope your car is ok!

I had a Nissan Maxima when I lived in Colorado, and we got really bad hail storms all the time, every spring. This was a big white car, and one year a storm caught me out of the highway with no shelter in sight. My poor car got dents ALL over it ... and being white and covered all over in evenly spaced hail dents, it looked exactly like a giant golf ball!! :D

Once, a hailstorm broke my picture window, tore up the roof of my house and destroyed my shed. :eek:

Think I should run out and cover it with a blanket next time? LOL

It's a good idea, and even better, do you have access to a garage?

No it's full :(

In fact my mom has a huge welt on her back from when she ran out to put her car in the garage and got pelted with hail.

The last bad hail storm that I remember was on my 21st birthday. Had tornado warnings (it passed by a mile south of the house :eek: ), and the hail started just after my friends and I got home. A few dents in my car looked like someone took a hammer to it. :(

That's too bad that your poor car can't fit into the garage.


Just take it into the house!!! :D

Wow!!! :eek:

We don't have hail like that around here, just lots of wind that blows stuff around and dents your car lol

Ha, here (southern illinois, near st. louis) we get bad storms. The other night there was a tornado!!!!! It didn't hit us luckily but we ran for cover!!!:eek: And i was at school the other day and the hail was so bad it completely covered the ground, and we r talkin golfball sized!!!:eek: I was afraid it would hit the window. We get horrible storms here though, last year there was a city a little south of us and the highschool got ripped in half:eek: A week later i had to go there and the power and water were still out. But i wouldn't give it up for anything, The storms are when i do my very best writing.
