Huge hailstone that fell in eastern Colorado Tuesday smashes all-time state record

That's a really bad day.

I had to replace my windshield once because a car ahead of me threw a stone and put a little crack in it. I was livid. I can't imagine how I'd react to that ^^^^.

She was a young chick and really cool about it. 'hey I'm fine with hailstorms and expect dents in the car after one. This was something else.'

I guess the car was parked and she came out to it like that. It didn't happen when she was driving.

What could you do walking out to something like that though? Just shrug and go 'OK'.

The worst one we've had around here in the 25+ years I've lived here is the one last spring that hit the area where the shop is. It caused $2.3 billion in damages.

My god. $2.3 BILLION?!?!?! Fucking hell!

My god. $2.3 BILLION?!?!?! Fucking hell!

I got so fucking lucky...I left work about 15 to 20 minutes before it rolled through here. If I had still been here, my truck would have been fucked. It was golf ball to baseball sized hail stones.

She pulled the hailstone out of her car after so she knew it wasn't vandalism. Of course the sound of that fucking storm inside of anywhere would alert a person it was probably hail and not vandalism

I've been caught in a few hail storms driving and always think - Thank God I'm not a pedestrian outside in this shit.

*small kid looks up to the sky thinking it's snow and opens his mouth* - Ahhh snowflakes on my tongue....THUD! Waaaaaahhhh the snow broke my fuckin nose Mommy!
