The thumbnail is of one. I wish I videoed afterwards to show everyone but my adrenaline was going crazy I wasn't thinking about making this video for RU-vid. I wish I made a better video showing all the damage
@@fredthompson4568 sometimes you get lightning but often the thunder can be too far away from the storm for it to be actually heard Thunder can't be heard if it's more than 30 miles away
Yeesh! It's a bit disturbing to hear the loud CRACK! of a tree snapping. Wonder if it was a microburst. They take down a lot of trees and a quick but VERY violent.
+Medic Webber Yeah it was somewhat of a microburst i would say, It was the most precipitation when it passed over us and once past it was not a bad storm so could have been
I love storms, even though i'm afraid anything bad happens, i reeeeeally enjoy being at home looking outside the window when it's stormy (ok i wouldn't go to the window if the storm was that strong). Thank you for this video! I hope no one got hurt
That is so unfortunate. We live in West Texas and have experienced many hail storms through the years. Although grapefruit size hail is unlikely, it isn't uncommon here. When I was a youngster not yet 9, in the middle of the night, my dad got me and my sister out of bed and grabbed us both, carried us through the back yard and into our "cellar". The next morning when we emerged out of our storm shelter, our entire yard was covered with white baseball and softball size hail leaving holes in the roof of our home. What a disaster.
@@gacha_yukki7852 yet according to whatever BS religion you somehow got tricked into believing- technically god made that storm. So its a HUGE dick move to make up a giant storm and pretend that its a miracle by "saving" the person fro the storm. At the expense of their home and possibly any sentimentally valuable items.
The F5 tornado that hit us in Lubbock Texas in 1970 brought along softball size hail with it. I will never forget the sound it made as it collided with the roof of our house when I was a kid.
Just so you know he responded to a comment and it said something like, I wish i would of kept recording but my adrenaline was going and did not think of it. And the thumbnail is a hailstones from this storm.
Living in Florida & New Orleans, I've seen some terrible weather...Hurricane's downdrafts, tornado's. This is the scariest weather yet...truly terrifying!
I was in a storm that had grapefruit sized hail once near Minco Oklahoma. I ended up driving straight inside a tornado trying to escape it. It sounds unbelievable but it's true. It was an f2 maybe and was about a hundred yards wide and slow moving. I had time to turn my car around inside it to face the wind from the back wall of the tornado so it wouldn't roll my car. It was spinning all around me and very little rain or debris inside it.
How are you all so calm, people????? I've been in some pretty nasty storms in southern Indiana, but that sounds like Armageddon! Appreciate the video, but you all should've been in the "safe zone" in your house. Truly scary shite right there!!! Glad you're all safe!
+denkidog hahah thats what a lot of people are saying, i as a hobby like to storm chase so thats why i was calm and idk to be honest i never realized how relaxed we were till every one was pointing it out now i find it funny lol
+Trent Mayer We're in southern Indiana; freaky weather central! Been through some scary tornados, but the most frightening storm for me was a bow echo that produced 100 mph+ straight-line winds. It blew in all of our sliding glass doors on the back of our house, our dog kennel roof was across the road, and we never found our huge Weber gas grill. 50' Oak trees were laid over like sticks; all lying the same direction. Every downed tree in the area looked like that. The craziest thing was seeing countless utility poles snapped off at the same level, all lying the same direction, mile after mile! Next house MUST have a basement!
I had softball size outside of Denver in early 90s, the sky was emerald green!!! It destroyed my 71 challenger I just painted 6 months earlier, paid 7000 for it put 5000 into it and guess what insurance wanted to pay me? I got lucky, it was 22 yrs, a classic and had all my recipes. 😊
They're so calm, even when he sees what it did to his car! Being in a hailstorm is the most helpless feeling in the world. MAYBE you can save your car when the first few hailstones fall but you just have to sit there and watch it do major damage to your house. You don't know how long it's going to last or if the hail is going to get even bigger. That's one problem. Your second problem is that a storm with a powerful enough updraft to produce large hail will probably produce a tornado so you're also sitting there wondering if a tornado is going to hit in the next minute or two.
That's very true. I'm guessing that you too have experienced something like this? Fortunately I knew that there wouldn't be any tornado from this but I am always blown away to think of the updraft capable of holding up hail this big!
Jill Jones it starts out as smaller pieces and they collect together forming larger and larger chunks, it isn't pulled up into the sky as ice chucks. Unless a tornado has done it.
Why is it the most stupid people are the ones who think they know everything and the smart ones are always full of questions? (Go back to 3rd grade science. )
I have to disagree. Hail storms fall somewhere in the middle on the helpless scale for natural events. Try a massive earthquake. Now THAT will have you feeling helpless in a matter of a few seconds. All you can think about is how much worse it will get and will it ever stop! Will my house come down around me, will the roof fall on my head, will I be thrown into the air and break my neck, is the earth going to open up and swallow me whole...it is a truly helpless, terrifying, awesome experience to say the least. I'm talking about the really big earthquakes...not the average shakers.
The way it blew in was crazy ! Just massive amounts of lightning with intense wind, then followed by baseball to greapfruit sized hail....unbelievable! I would have loved to have been there to experience that.(without my car lol)
But if a tornado came to Cincinnati area, I would be the first to chase it...I will record it lol (will not look for shelter) it's just how I am I love weather...I'm like that one guy that freaks out every time it thunder snows lol
Hail that big can kill on impact. Even nickle size hail, if the wind is blowing strong enough can give you serious injuries, or possibly kill you as well. Imagine getting hit by a marble size hail stone flying at 90-100 mph. It's rare, but it can happen. Don't ever underestimate the power of this planet. An average severe thunderstorm throughout the course of it's life can put out enough power to equal several nuclear warheads. Not a game folks
In 1986, Chadron, Neb.had a baseball hail storm that lasted for 45 minutes. it destroyed a bunch of houses. all that was left on the west side was 2x4,s. broke every window down town that faced west. A bank had some real thick windows and it took them out. There was just pieces of glass around the edge. In 35 years of storm trooping it was the worse I ever seen.
One thing I've learned, when they put these natural disaster movies out, like "Day After Tomorrow", I take note. We were told about what was coming in that movie...the size of the hail that fell in Japan ahead of the weather anomaly...we have to pay attention. If they want to warn us about something, they will put it in a movie. We think "oh! this is an awesome movie!! The special effects was great!" Not paying attention to the fact that they don't want the people to panic by telling us what's actually fixing to happen...
I am in the tropic. We never have hail storm before. I am almost 60. Now we have hail storm, although not frequent, but, we are having it in the tropic. The weather have changed.
I live in Texas and in the early 90's we had a storm that produced baseball to grapefruit sized hail. It was so loud. I remember hearing peoples car's windows being smashed.
Was it night time or was this during the day? Was your electricity out? I am in Korea and I will be teaching about hail. May I ask how much ($) damage was done to your home and car from this one storm?
jacqueline morrow Yeah sorry its been so long since i have responded. Yes we lost our electricity. It was still day light out but as soon as the shelf cloud in the front of the storm came over it got very dark. Im not totally sure about price numbers yet to be honest. My car is all dented up and i had to replace my rear window, side window, and sun roof witch was 1000 dollars in damage for my car. The hail was so big that basically any window that gets hit by hail would break. Our farm equipment windows broke, house windows and it even went through our roof in about 25 places. 5 Farming Pivots in the area blew over and a lot of crops had some serious damage. A lot of siding on houses were also damaged. Fortunately there were not tons of hail. They were huge but a little fewer. If there like 2 inch in diameter and a lot more it can mow down fields completely! Hope this answers any of your questions.... Feel free to ask anything you want. I love the weather
At least I Live in a city that will never ever get hail any bigger than I'd say... Dimes? Peas? I'm not sure. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, and severe weather (rare) does happen a couple of times, it does hail, but it's always tiny hail. At least Las Vegas doesn't get tornadoes and never will because it's the desert.
Honey, did you get that life insurance policy on your mom and you? Yes Good becouse I just had her walk over to the neighbors for sugar. WHAT!!? She has a walker!! I know! I feel my odds are better then the Casino!! Are you going to save her?😂
+Mars0984 Yeah i was able to, my thumbnail to this video is of me holding one, they were about 6 inches in diameter! By the time i has grabbed them they had already melted a little
Hi Trent, sorry for the slow response. Occasionally we get a supercell storm that drops large hail and I recall when I was younger that we had a storm that dropped tonnes of Saharan dust - way back in the 1960's. The other night we had a lot of lightning from a storm but that's about it.....not very exciting but in many ways Im glad. Id hate to have my flat smashed in with hail or demolished by a tornado.
This reminds me of the aug 28,1990 Plainfield event which dropped golf ball size then a wicked wall cloud moved in with a mesmerizing blend of colors then boom! A ultra-violent f-5 monster tornado drops and literally destroyed everything in its 16.5 mi path it remains to this day the most Powerfull tornado in Illinois history ranking up there with the Andover Kansas monster on April 91
Euroshield ♻️ Rubber Roofing’s Vermont Slate HP is the only roofing material on earth that’s guaranteed hail proof at any size hail. Nothing else even comes close.
I grew up in California and we never get anything bigger than pea size Hail. I use to hear these stories of Golf Ball or Grapefruit size “Hail Stones” and rolled my eyes thinking this was some old wives tale. It’s only in the last few years watching RU-vid videos I discovered they weren’t BS’ing! It’s true!
iliveonjupiter The storm defiantly made it dark there was at least an hour and a half left of light. I remember it suddenly becoming black as soon as the shelf cloud went over us! it was really intense lol
AllyCat307 lol thanks! well i storm chase some so i knew there wouldn't be a tornado where we were so i had to stay and watch it. Ill have to admit i got a little scared the wind came on instantly and was insane, crazy non the less!
Today in Boston , MA there was an unexpected hail storm. I got hurt but it didn't leave a mark. However, for my Mother she got hurt near her vein on her hand. She did indeed get cut and blood appeared. But, she forgot pain existed. I'm now frightened to go outside. D:
Usually when you have a massive amount of lightening, it's an indicator that there is hail in the storm because the hail bouncing around and colliding with other hailstones and rain creates the electric charge needed for lightening production; also usually means that the instability and hence updraft is fairly strong which is what you want for hail production.
History books say a storm like that killed around 1000 British soldiers and 6000 horses camped up before a battle in 1360 during the 100 year war (known as Black Monday). A load of them were also stuck by lightning. That was in Northern France.
Yeah, all ya have to worry about in SF is rubbing up on some human crap smeared on the walls, or stepping on used hypodermic needles, or the earth opening up and swallowing you up, or...
early evening. the sun was up still but the storm made it dark. this storm i believe was 60,000 ft tall and very dense. something like this can make noon seem like dusk
If we can start comparing hail stone sizes to random items such as napkin holders and hubcaps that's be great. Also instead of the sound of a freight train, let's try the sound of a building collapse or an avalanche.
Supercells thunderstorms look like hurricanes compared too most thunderstorms here in Baltimore Maryland. Even when it hails some its not big and hardly ever very windy except for the occasional derecho
It's hard to believe that this shit happens on planet earth. It took courage for you to video this and courage to deal with the damage done by this. I do hope things went well with you in cleaning up from the damage.
The bigger the hailstone, the faster it's going when it hits. So while pea sized hail is only going maybe 20 mph on impact, softball sized hail is actually falling at +100mph. faster than if a professional baseball pitcher was throwing it as hard as he could. I know cattle have thick skulls, but how does any living thing survive being exposed to those kind of blows?
Who remembers the big hail storm (grapefruit size hail) that hit south Fort Worth, Texas around may 1995 that killed over 20 people that evening..alot of roofs collapsed and many people were caught outside in the open parks..that was one of worst storms ever to hit Texas
