Hail Storm Video
Last week a thunderstorm appeared on the radar out of nowhere. Here’s a video I took… of the TV. Listen to the hail that suddenly started banging on our roof and windows as the weatherman is talking. He was describing baseball sized hail in an area north of us. I only saw pea-sized hail so I can only imagine what baseball sized hail sounds like. I think it means a new roof.
I’m looking forward to the Spring storm season here in North Texas. I love taking pictures of the foreboding clouds and making videos like this. I especially love it when they send the low man on the totem pole directly into the eye of the storm (his name is always “Chris”) and when the news lady’s umbrella turns inside out, hits her on the head three times, then flies away.
This video is hosted on flickr. The upload to YouTube was faster, but flickr is so much more slick. YouTube needs a redesign. It’s so 2004-looking!
PS. If you want to see some REAL Texas hail, watch this and skip to 3:15.

Thanks. I think I’d be a great meteorologist too.
WE URGE YOU TO GO IMMEDIATELY TO THE LOWEST INTERIOR ROOM OF YOUR HOME FOR SAFETY AND DON’T FORGET TO SEND IN YOUR PHOTOS OF THE STORM AS IT HAPPENS.
I could say that in one sentence with a straight face. That must be the best part of their job. That very sentence.

Reminds me of our motor home experience in the Bozeman, Montana Wal-mart parking lot when there was a hailstorm. Thankfully the hail stones wern’t as big, otherwise we probably would have had broken windows also.

You sure get a lot of exciting storms. This morning it sprinkled, this afternoon the sun came out and we went for a bike ride. Tonight it might rain a little more. And yes, Bozeman, Montana was a wild 5 minutes complete with wind and flooding.

U R a c-r-a-z-y funny guy! I think the weather channel could use someone like U – or should I say – NEEDS someone like U!!!
It’s nice to see weather and see it happening somewhere else
Thanks for the post – it was amazing, fun and frightening all at the same time. Hopefully, your little car is all better by now.
