Hail Storm

Here are two amazing home videos from YouTube taken during a violent hailstorm in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in May of 2010. In each case you see the hail start out slowly, then get really wild.

Some years ago when I was working in Indianapolis, Indiana a thunderstorm suddenly turned to hail while I was in my car stopped for a red light. It sounded and felt as if hundreds of people were attacking my car with hammers. So many hailstones were hitting at once that it made the car begin to rock. It lasted less than a minute and stopped as suddenly as it had begun. That was some kind of scary! Surprisingly, there was no damage to my car.
