Cow Runs For Cover As Massive Hailstorm Pelts Texas Backyard 

If you’ve ever seen a car after a hailstorm like this, you’d know that the cattle are in pain.

Aww…that poor cow was in pain from all that hail pounding on him.

I pray that BULL found cover FAST and that he’s ok

Poor baby 😢 Those hail stones are huge! Hope the storm didn't stick around too long.

The cows need a barn.

I hope he's ok. That hail is huge and hitting hard. I know he's hurting til he finds shelter. Good luck big guy.

This Reminds me of a story my mother told me. When she was young still lived on the farm in South Dakota during the mid 1950,s. She told me the hail was so big it was hitting the cows and breaking their backs. She was real sad about it. Hail is no joke!

It's amazing how strong mother nature is but scary at the same time. Poor cow, i hope it's okay.❤

Texas have frequent hail storms , so no excuses for not sheltering your animals. Protect your animals.

My heart break in million pieces seeing this cow running for cover man that hurts I hope that cow be okay 😢😢

Only 4 Americans have died by hail since 2000. More have been hospitalized and many more less severely injured.

Run , Bossie , run ! 😮 Dang pool looks like the surf at Normandy on D-Day ! 😬 Hope she's ok !🐮

I've been in the middle of a huge lake with my Dad and brother, and this happened. We got just a little messed up, but minor cuts and bruises are all we tried to outrun it. That didn't work so we covered ourselves with what we had. Not much and laced down facing the floor. Now it's a great memory of being together. RIP Daddy

They should have cow ports for moments like this. I have seen them on some farms, not all.

That's the size hail that starts to really hurt...

Those are wicked hail balls. I’ve never encountered ones that size living in Indiana.

I hope it found cover quickly!

If anyone is concerned. The cow seems to know where it wants to go. Implying theres a barn or shelter in the field for them. Usually farms have one, its just possible the cow was farther out and grazing before the storm hit and the storm likely came in pretty quickly. So once the cows get to the shelter, they'll be alright. But those hailstones have got to hurt immensely

Owners know the extreme weather. They should have prepared these animals for safety and protection.

😂why I read Crows run for cover" Until I seen a cow. Made myself laugh at that 1😂😂😂😂😂

If you have animals, provide them with a shelter. 💙 T.E.N.

Poor animals, please protect them, thank you very much ❤

That's REALLY BIG HAIL !!!

I am 58 this year and my grandmother was born in 1898. She told a story of her grandfather plowing with his team of draft horses in east texas one spring and tornado weather developed bringing a hail storm that had hail stones so big they beat his horses to death before he could get them and him under any cover and the only reason he survived is they fell against each other in their braces and managed to crawl and squeeze his way under and between them to keep the hail stones from hitting him. But that he was black and blue almost solid and spent almost two weeks in bed recovering.

CO: Get to cover, soldier Soldier: What fucking cover, sir???

I've seen hail fall before but to see it land in the pool like that really gives definition to the weight of the hail

Next door neighbour said where did my cow go This guy: he’s here

30 years ago we've had same extreme hailstorm, and the whole village gardens and roofs were destroyed. All house's rooftiles were destroyed, there was countless dead birds in the nearby forest and all over the place. There was dozens of pet gooses and chickens dead. There was some very bad damaged cars, with broken windows and headlights, dented sheetmetal all over the sides. Our car was parked under a light roof which somehow protected the windows but the sheet metal got some bumps and dents. My dad never fixed them, he was driving it like that until we sent it to scrap years later. It was funny when people see it and started asking what caused these dents, and they were in disbelief when we tell them it was a snowball-sized hail dropping for 20 minutes. My dad was out to the store and couldn't find a place to hide (we lived far from center and there's no shelters on the road, only trees) so he came home with broken head and all of his face and shirt were covered in blood. He said he stayed beside a tree and hugged one in hope to stay alive. I, myself, were working at the field and walked home when it started raining. Before I reach our yards it started raining hard and very quick turned into walnuts sized hail. I got cover in the sheepfold, but the fear of this event still shakes me. At one moment balls turned into a snowball size, and even some were bigger. They were falling with such power, they bounced off the ground to 30-40 meters away. At one moment I stepped outside the sheepfold to see what's going on, what's that falling from above, but very fast I stepped back after a ball hit my head and gave me a lot of pain. The balls were not just oval, but it had some icy spikes on them (from melting I guess). I got hit on my forearm also, and that wound was healing for a very long time, not fast as an usual scratch. It lasted over 20 minutes and I was even afraid to look up again to see what's going on. Only briefly could look up and saw how our tomatoes nylonhouse gets ripped apart. Our dog was with me btw, and the poor thing went out to the bombarding zone, got hit several times and barely could return to shelter. I was screaming as hell to him to return, but it was so loud I doubt it could even hear me. When he came to my feet and looked up - I saw fear and horror in its eyes. Dog was shaking. I couldn't get him in hands because i needed both hands to cover my head. He ran under the sheep feeder and stayed there whining the whole time. So yeah, that poor cow is in a lot of pain, even the balls are smaller... After the hail stopped, there was tons of ice balls covering the whole ground, it was like a winter snow 10 cm deep. I wish we had pocketphones with cameras back then, I could've captured unique photos. All electricity and landphone lines were cut. We didn't had mobile phones back then in 1994, so we were absolutely isolated from the world until next day when some help from nearby villages arrived. After the storm passed and light rain started pouring, I stepped outside my shelter and sat at our house's front door steps. There was dead silence. No people talking, no birds chirping. In a few seconds our dog came slowly to me holding down it's head, and just sat near me, without looking in my eyes. It seemed like he totally felt the devastating horror that happened on that day. It happened on 21st of July 1994, in a small village in northeastern Bulgaria, called Kotchmar. Wish I could provide a proof of it, but as I wrote - back then we didn't had video cameras or digital cameras, only old school photo camera, but the films were expensive and we didn't had any in stock. Anyways, I hope I'd never experience such an event again, even tho I have a pocket camera with me all the time now. It was a horrible experience and I wish it stays only in my memories. Long story but I thought I'd share it with the world. Be safe everyone! 🍻✌🏻

I remember as a kid in Austin this happened afterschool and a city bus driver saw us running for cover and pulled over and told us to get in, then he pulled off and drove to a bus stop that was under the big walnut / acorn tree but shout out to him

Those weren’t hail those were baseballs ⚾️ poor cow 🐄

I’ve never thought about cow’s during a hail storm😂

The cow: just having running train

Those big hailstones re like rocks and they hurt!!!!!😢 RUN COW! RUN!🐂🐂🐂🐂

Look at that size of that ICE ❄ FALLING. I've seen hail but never seen this size before. Poor Cow. That has to hurt.

Oh no, that poor cow!! Question- do the livestock ever get hurt from the storms and hail? Seriously asking- we are on a journey to homesteading and the cow will be one of the last animals added so I don't know much yet as we've been immersed in learning all about lambs/sheep and piglets/hogs as they are next to be added. We don't bring anything into the property until we are properly set up, have learned all we can and have had hands on, deal working, experience with that animal group. ❤

Cow: moo-oove mooo-oove!

I feel bad for homeless people and all the animals outside during majors disasters. I am grateful for shelter during the storms of life. Praying we all have that luxury.

We have cows and we have horses and we have several types of just small shelters. Not like a huge barn, but we have some on our 30 acres that they can get under if they have to. We don't leave them without any kind of shelter and I do live in texas. Yes, if there was a barn on the property they wouldn't get into it, but with these small shelters with just a wood roof on it the seem to stand under them especially in a lightning storm or hail. . They seem to get under when it gets real bad. the horses will get in a barn cows will not get in a barn especially if it has a metal roof.

Cow Thinks He Wondered Onto The Driving Range!😂😂😂

Poor animals in so many situations these days. This poor cow needs shelter too!

My family has raised cattle for generations. We give them cover from this type of weather.... but don't worry guys. These cows are tougher than you think. She'll be alright.

That's not a cow, that is a bull. Poor thing!

That cow was like " This some BUUUULLLLLLLshhhHHhhhhhiiit" lol

That’s some solar panel eating hail right there.

For people, wondering this happened back in April in the cow was successful in finding cover was reportedly not injured. Personally, I have my doubts about it not being injured, but growing up a farm I know how strong cows are.

My LAWWWD! Run, Bessie!! Look at those humongous splashes in the pool! I've never seen anything like that.

I know that cow was like "I did not sign up for this man, this is not how you make milkshakes" 😂

We’re getting it right now here in NE Texas. Praying for safety.

I saw a hailstorm as a child. All the car dealerships in the area were ruined. It looked like a war zone everywhere, broken store fronts, homes, and some statues were chipped away. We grabbed a few and put them in the freezer. It was cool to see as a kid, as an adult, all you can think about is how this going to get replaced/repaired with what money.

Lord please cover these animals and keep them safe in the storm...💔😐🙏🏾

*In Austin Power's voice* "That's not a cow, that's a BULL, baby!"

The poor cow is thinking, "what the hail."

Mother Nature is no joke

I feel extremely bad for animals during times like these 😢

Cow: "Oh lord! I'm in hail!!!"

That bull moved like it was time to be fed in the barn.

I bet that cow was thinking “what the hail?!” 😂

Cows like- Ow, Ow, Ow,Ow.

Hope this big bull got to safety and wasnt hurt. Those are some huge chunks of ice

Poor baby I hope he's gonna be ok ❤️ that's awful hail like that usually means bad storms and tornadoes. I hope everyone is ok

It must have been hell for all the animals that had nowhere to shelter from this.

That big ol boy is like "ow. ow. ow. ow. ow."

Poor baby, I was hit by much smaller hail it left a horrible huge bruise on my shoulder, I know he was in pain. I hope he got shelter quickly

Poor Cow, I hope it finds shelter. 😢

My farmer neighbors laugh at me when I say I would build a storm shelter for my animals, they call me city slicker which I am 😅😂

I’m a west coast girly, and when I moved to Texas I learned REAL fast that the golf ball, sometimes baseball or softball size hail destroys and can puncture through METAL, so there’s really no excuse for longtime residents of Texas to not have some sort of shelter in place for their outdoor animals.

That poor thing…praying he’s okay. 🙏🏻♥️

Hail storms are no joke. I was right in the middle of the Bowling Green KY hail storm in 1998. It beat the siding and roofs off houses and destroyed thousands of cars. Did $500 million in damages. The aftermath was something. Hope you all did okay.

When I owned a pet sitting service, I got caught in a storm like this while walking two dogs. I had to drape myself over them on someone's porch. Hail hurts! Feel so sorry for this cow. Hope it can find shelter soon!😮

Cows like “owe, owe,owe,owe”

That poor cow. May God put his hands on you babies and take the pain away. Whoever owns the cow please Bill something for your cows next time so the cows take cover and get out of the storm. ❤

This video has so much natural drama in it. It is real life personified. A master piece painted by nature.

Я ЗА КОРОВКУ ПЕРЕЖИВАЛА,КАК ЖЕ ЕЙ БОЛЬНО И СТРАШНО БЫЛО🙏🙏💕

Heartbreaking that theres no barn or shelter! Its like he's trailing the fence-line thinking "maybe just this once they will let me inside?" This hurts to watch

This is the first ive ever seen hail

WOW! should have put the cows up BEFORE the storm!! That hurts, been in hail like that before!!

Well this happens in Texas the top of our barn has holes now. We are repairing them.😢Cows feel pain too Lord. ❤

First time I’ve seen a cow run like that

The Cow: "It's raining BALLS! Wheres that car port?!" Also The Cow: "I'm supposed to be tenderized after I'm dead! Where's the Mooman? Help!"

There's a video like this yesterday from overseas and the camels were being pelted with like grapefruit-sized hail and it was the saddest thing I've ever seen 💔💔💔😭😭😭

Farmers need to respect their animals and provide the utmost care.

Cows lives matter😪

This is exactly what I witnessed yesterday here in Norfolk Va.! But my daughter lives about 5 minutes away and she only got the flooding!!!!

Omg poor thing. The way those were hitting the pool I can only imagine how much that must have hurt and how scared the cow was :(( I hope it found a tree or some shelter to go under

Aww...that poor cow I sure hope he found shelter. I can't imagine how much that could hurt him. 😮

Here in Florida is so sad to see these poor cows out there in more than 100 degrees with no shelter, exposed to everything

That’s a BULL not a cow and poor thing was feeling every piece of hail.

Don't have cattle or any animals if you won't provide adequate shelter from the heat, cold, or storms! They clearly can afford to put up a $5000 dollar shelter for their cattle! That bull would have bruises for a few weeks due to the owner's neglect! I have a right to judge them, I am a cattle farmer! Pisses me off!

Hope moo cow and other life made it to shelter quickly!

Poor cow getting hit by a hail storm ⛈️ 😢😂❤😊

That’s strong, but here where I’m living there has been a tornado and a thunderstorm thunderstorm. What should I do?😢😢

The balls break car windows. Imagine how bruised these poor animals must be !!!!!!

That’s a bull, not a cow … check the plumbing … but it’s running to save its life, not because it’s afraid of hail! Look at the size of the stuff! It could kill anything if one hailstone hits the head of the recipient.

Poor luv, praying it was running toward something safe! 🙏🏼🤎🙏🏼

Then who lef the 🐄 🐮 out a 🚪 🚪. Y'all are wicked 🙄 😒 poor thing.

Poor cow, Run buddy, run, find a tree with thick branches.

This bull more than likely has a barn and is heading towards it. What people have forgotten is cattle go out to pasture to graze and sometimes just leave the ranch so it may take a while to get back to their shelter.

Poor cattle. My heart goes out to nature and the innocent animals who have done nothing to deserve this.

I’d be yelling for him to “Get in the house!!!”

Anyone who has a basic knowledge of physiology will know that that is in fact a bull, not a cow! Do not attempt to milk it!
