Now that is some big hail stones! I sure wouldn't want to be caught outside in that.

Is that a hail storm or a civil war cannon bombardment?

Saw a clip last night on UK news showing someone in Texas holding a hail stone the size of a cricket ball.....scary

I know, I still love you, man.


Following these kind of storms around and processing insurance claims is what Golden Rivet does. I imagine he's going to be busy with this.

It doesn't do great things to aircraft either, I imagine that sensible aircraft routed around that monster though.

My car is worth €200 so it would make less than €200 damage

I'm working the Plano, Tx storm and anticipate receiving Wylie assignments soon. Been running non stop just about since I got here. Very heavy damage there. Vinyl siding just completely machine gunned off the side of the houses. Some of the hail stones penetrated the roof surface and ceiling drywall into the residences. Most severe hail damage I've seen yet.

With the rain over the last 24 hours I've had to reschedule field work and that has given me some much needed down time.

the videos above are quite accurate
