REALLY HAS TO BE some turbulent strong winds up above to make hail that size. JEBUS ! look at the size of those suckers!!, I wonder how the insurance is settled in situations like this.
I enjoy the pathetic attempt on the tree with Christmas lights.


Funny you should mention it. My dad's an insurance adjuster and hail is one of their most common claims. Typically, the easiest payout is to the roof and siding of the house of course, but from what I understand, it's pretty easy to make a hail claim due to the fact that where there's one, there are usually a few hundred.

would this kill animals and livestock?


Nature's meat tenderizer.

Funny I was just wondering what would happen to someone caught in the storm without any form of shelter.

Nature: 1 Car Lot: 0 CarInsurance Companies: -1

A hailstorm in Calgary 3 or so weeks ago during the Calgary Stampede did something similar.
Anything dentable or breakable left outside during one of these storms is done for. It's ridiculous.
Afaik, most if not all car repair shops in Calgary are still booked solid and will be for weeks because of the storm.

actually, i have seen something like this. i was in a similar hailstorm in Wichita KS in the early 90's. nature does not want people living in the mid west and i, for one, listened and moved!

Why do some people feel the need to comment inanely on and on and on and on? Can they not SHUT THE FUCK UP and witness the majesty of nature?
"I've never seen anything like this."
"Oh, I have, last week, it was awesome, and way better than this one because it DIDN'T HAVE YOU CONSTANTLY SAYING 'I've never seen anything like this'"
Argh.
Still... on a lighter note... AWESOME HAILSTORM!

Epic irony.


Shuddup

Pray harder and God will make the tornadoes and massive hailstorms go away. Obviously someone there is sinnin' sumthin' serious. The magic guy in the sky is mad about something for sure.

EDD, you provided links where, I assume, we are supposed to find me name-calling, etc., but maybe I'm missing where I ever did that?

alien_concept, in the past you have been really cool to me and were very forgiving of past mistakes when I decided to be less confrontational, which is why it gives me pain to say that you are dead wrong if you think that Prozac is a saint and that I alone have been winding this situation up. After Deedub posted his http://politics.videosift.com/talk/Wonder-how-UsesProzac-feels-about-comments-by-thepinky thread and the whole situation seemed to be cooling off, Prozac called me a cunt on my profile not once, not twice, but three times without response from me. I admit I was boiling up a little bit inside, but I tried to ignore it. This more recent incident began when I noticed Prozac antagonizing someone else and being extremely nasty on their profile. I will keep the name of the person under wraps for fear that he will be dragged into this matter and called my sidekick. It wasn't my business, I should have ignored it, but it annoyed me, so I said something to her. WOW. I'm telling you truthfully that my original comment was very calm and I didn't say anything offensive at all. She responded with a hailstorm. She was understandably annoyed. I should have left her alone. But talk about personal attacks! She is the QUEEN.

All you need to do is read this blog to see that I am not the one winding this situation up. Two posts about me in a row? She seems to be thinking, "My insults are just not enough, let me expose my lies and exaggerations about her to the world and all of my friends can back me up!" The above post is one that she posted on my profile...I think it was 3 times? And I deleted it because it is as nasty as anything. Go ahead and read the comments on LittleRed's profile. Isn't it obvious who is antagonizing who? And it is not only LittleRed that she picks on.

You might also notice on Deedub's thread that I attempted to make peace with Prozac, only to have her make fun of it and make me feel like an idiot for trying.

I'm not asking you to take my side. I'm sure Prozac has plenty of wonderful qualities that I have never had the privilege to see. But the person I know loves to crush her enemies, take their weaknesses, blow them out of proportion, shove them in their faces, and announce them to the world. I'm not a fan.

We BOTH could have behaved much more like adults. Prozac is not the Big Bad Wolf and I am not the victim. I haven't behaved well, either. I wish it had never happened and I hope that we can all put it behind us.

Hail that big usually accompanied by a tornado... at least that's how it goes in the alley.


We dont get very many tornadoes in aus. But hailstorms are pretty common.
