Good old Midwest .

[chopsaw]

Sirens went off and had about 5 minutes to clear the garage and pull my truck in .
Haven't seen it like this in awhile . Streets and yard covered in small stuff .

This will leave a mark . A bunch of this size mixed in .
Makes some noise when it hits .

Son's car had a dozen dings . Daughters seems OK . Haven't looked at my
Older truck yet . Glad I didn't have the grill going .

 

[normanaj]

Glad no one got hurt.

Sucks for your son's car.

 

[JLinza]

Dang, yep I bet those could do some damage.

 

[02ebz06]

My truck has gotten hit twice. Once in Texas, and once in New Mexico.
Glad they can just pop them out these days.

 

[chopsaw]

Heck the small ones sting a bit . Nothing out of the ordinary but they say " It's coming " all the time and nothing happens .
I have a 12 ' tall street light in the back . I'm glad it survived . Says Oct. 31st 1895 on the rim . Still has the hand blown glass in it .
This is an old picture , but the hail has already got me once . I'm down to my last set of original hand blown glass .

 

[02ebz06]

It definitely does sting.

 

[gmc2003]

Glad to hear there wasn't any serious damage Rich. I read there was a possibility of Gorilla hail. I've never heard of that description before, but they say it could have been anywhere from a golf ball size to a softball sized.

Stay safe and wear a helmet.

That stuff can be nasty, hope for the best is all one can do when its in the area.

golf ball size to a softball sized.

Had that one time . It does some damage .

That's it right there .
There's a bunch of states in the path . Someone's gonna get nailed .
I'm close to the river , so we either get slammed or it misses us .
Looks like round 2 headed this way . Oh well .

How is the roof on the house? Those ice balls are brutal.

The roof got hammered in 2009 . They paid off on it , but I never fixed it . Money is still in the bank , but the roof is 18 years old . We'll see if it starts leaking .
Getting some pictures of another part of town along 70 . They got it bad . 3 inch holes in windshields .

I’ve never seen it here big at all, maybe marble sized a couple times, but the wife grew up some of her youth in west Texas and eastern NM, she said it gets grape fruit sized at times and just recks everything. That would be terrifying to experience. I’ve seen pictures of the ice but that’s as close as I’ve come. Glad you made out ok.

 

[JLinza]

It's been non stop snow for us today. But nothing Like getting your truck dinged up by hail.

 

[Brokenhandle]

As a farmer... we hope for hail this type of year. Can't hurt the yields when the seed is still in the bag. But the damage caused isn't fun to deal with.
Make a drink with the big ones Rich!

Man sucks for the dings. I’d pick it up and make a margarita with them

 

[jcam222]

Just got the all clear to leave my basement after an hour down there. Layed on the floor with the two dogs as it's "winter" and the tornado couch is covered with cooking gear lol. Will have to assess if we had any hail and damage tomorrow. Had at least two touch downs in the area I'm hearing.

 

[pc farmer]

Dang. Biggest hail I have ever seen here was pea sized.

1-2" hail about 10 minutes south of me tonight. My metal roof is glad that wasn't here.

 

[mr mac]

Chopsaw, we're about 3 hours south of you, in Ripley County. We just had it roll through with all sorts of warnings, but, thankfully it is passing without a lot of problems for us in Doniphan.

 

[chopsaw]

been non stop snow for us today.

I saw that on the news earlier .

Just heard my Son and Daughter talking . He was telling her " The siren goes off and the first thing he does is move all the smokers under cover "
Lol .
