Check out this hailstorm - this video was taken October 5, 2010 in Phoenix, AZ by one of my mom's friends...

Sweet lordy.

whoa.....i feel sorry for anyone who gets caught without shelter during a serious hail storm.

[Jesda]

Well, that's rather violent.

[nissangirl74]

How'd you like to be out for your daily jog when that hit?

[krimsonviper]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[skydragoness]

So about convincing me to move out to AZ...

i HATE hail!

CO gets tons of the crap and as a result i refuse to live anywhere without a garage

[themadscientist]

So, hot and dry as hell, AND golfball-sized hail? I don't get the draw of living in the desert.

Sung to the tune of the Kia Soul Hamster commercial......


"you could go with this"



"or you could go with that"




Do. wa. Dippity.

Love you Mike, but you're way off. See, it was 78 degrees today with a slight breeze... 355 days of sunshine is spectacular.

That was the first significant hail in YEARS, occurred in a 10-20 square mile area, and was gone in 2 minutes.

Nothing rusts, nothing rots, no one sweats, racing every weekend, car shows every Saturday night, girls wear skimpy clothes year-round, no one owns a snow shovel, no icy roads, no raking leaves, no humidity, swimming in November... did I mention we've been driving with the top down all week?

Reminds me of Sam's Gap earlier this week.

Any pics of the aftermath?

Maybe these will help.

I bet the deals on new cars in the area the following day were schweet!

You should move to St Louis. There's so much to do that I leave town every week.

What's really funny is there were a TON of "hail damage repair" stations EVERYWHERE.

Paintless dent repair guys were booked for a MONTH STRAIGHT.

Sad part: All the redneck morons who took the insurance check, didn't fix their not-yet-paid-off car, and think they hit the jackpot, still driving their golf-ball-looking POS.

I wish their lender would call the loan or make them repay the money.

still driving their golf-ball-looking POS.

you may think differently after watching the golfball aerodynamics episode of mythbusters... a golfball dented car gets epic gas mileage.......

jus' sayin'

[themadscientist]

Hey, that makes the car go faster, like a golf ball.



I might take a ballpeen to the 180.

[Jesda]

That HHR looks kind of cool with the dents all over it. I mean, you can't make an HHR look worse.

[nissangirl74]

What a s*** color.

[Gold Digger]

I remember a nasty hail storm several years ago in my home town. Golf ball sized nuggets coming down for about 15 minutes.

Vehicle windows cracked/shattered, tree branches and leaves just shredded. Was epic.


I once was caught outside in a hail storm. Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Ill. Was there with my cousins and other family when dark clouds started to roll in. Started to rain a bit, so we were headed to the car and then it started hailing. Just little ones, but man, those little bishes sting when they hit you in the forehead. LOL.

The sad part is the hail made the HHR look better....
