Weather WTF

[MadBurgerMaker]

What does it feel like to get clonked with hail?  Like getting pegged with a rock?

Cold rocks.  Until it gets to a certain size, I guess, where you don't really feel it when it crushes your skull.

Roof is fine.

I've never gotten hit by hail that I can recall.  I've driven through it (as recently as this morning on my way into work ) but never actually been impacted by myself.  I guess I could ask my friend Kevin, but might wait a little bit to pose the question to him.

Also, another neat thing with tornadic fronts: usually it's pretty warm as they approach, and it always gets progressively warmer till they impact and then the temperature drops rapidly.  Before this one hit, it was actually hot outside, and I've also experienced that in late January once when we got hit by one.  I was lucky (or foolish?) enough to be outside when this one hit and you can really feel the temperature drop... there's also always this very low rumble that's just barely perceptible, almost like a distant train or something.  I always wonder if that's just approaching thunder or some sound that tornadoes make that can travel long distances or something.

Also, even though this hail was very large--biggest I've ever personally seen--it all melted within like a minute of falling.

It sucks.

Sucks even worse for your car.

I left work early today... one, because Princesca was bugging me to come home and move the dog's crate away from a window, and two, because I didn't want to possibly drive thru another, worse, hailstorm.

Sucks even worse for your car.

Back a few years ago, my Rodeo got pelted by some...eh...marble-ish or so sized hail.  It must've been coming down at a nice angle though, because those little overlapping hail dents were only on one side (plus the roof and hood).   Kinda weird.

Yeah, I remember after a hail storm it looked like someone took a hammer to our car.

Hell, they can fuck up the roof of your house.

Damn, continental weather sucks.   

Today Blighty was attacked by slight fog.

Damn, continental weather sucks.   

Never a dull moment though!

Damn, continental weather sucks.   

My grandparents had their porch wrecked by a hurricane several years ago.


Tornado in Marietta right now.

[Caliga]

This is the Henryville tornado, taken the friend I mentioned who lives there.  Came within about 50 yards of his house.

Some of the hail that pelted the fuck out of him:

In Poland, it has been sunny today and no snow/freezing weather for over 2 weeks now. Yay, springtime for Poland.
