Title: TEXAS-sized hail!
Post by: Buster's Uncle on April 03, 2014, 10:50:40 PM

All my life, I've heard hail the size of a big marble called "golf ball-sized".  We do get the "golf ball-sized" once or twice a summer most years back in America. 

Today?  I'm REALLY curious how much they're going to exaggerate THIS on the weather.  It was incredibly loud.  The ones pictured in the attachments were not carefully cherry-picked for size; just the biggest Mylochka saw in a few seconds close by.  She was concerned about taking a head shot; at the peak of activity the (explosive) impacts when the big ones hit something hard were impressive.

Now we're getting more amidst a tornadic thunderstorm.

We leave for America Saturday morning, and I am not going to miss this clown/fascist state.

It was a great deal more intense than this makes it seem.

How did a hippy get on our porch?

the footage of goose egg sized ice balls being thrown at my house at high speed seemed intense enough for me!

I hope it didn't damage the solar collectors.
