CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 6, 2010 Well, I was in the Valley yesterday running errands. One of those errands was up in Glendale and I just pulled into the parkinglot near Corner Archery when a violent hail storm hit. WOW! I don't think Paul or I have seen hail that big and it was very intense! As the storm was approaching we went out to look and then a few seconds later it hit. The hail storm got so loud everyone went inside after a few minutes of it. The winds were strong and pushed the hail up against the sides of the cars and the sides of the plaza. Wow! My Jeep is all pock-marked with dings. Looks like someone took a hammer to it. And the windsheild cracked from at least 10 of the hail stones hitting it. I am know hundreds probably hit it, but only 10 impacts shattered it in spots. Here is a video clip as the storm started. http://www.coueswhitetail.com/video_clips/...le_oct_2010.wmv and here are a few pics for those that can't watch the video: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 6, 2010 Anyone out in that hail storm without shelter could have easily been killed. One lady just took a couple steps from her car to the store and she had several large black and blue welts on her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bonecollector Report post Posted October 6, 2010 We didnt get the hail storm until about midnight at my house and it didnt last long, I was ral worried about damage to my truck from the hail. My part of town got 2" of rain and some say a micro burst. My RV gate ended up on top of my commuter car. It was ripped out of the concrete pilars. Just glad no one was hurt and it wasnt my truck parked in front of the gate. Sorry bout the jeep looks like it took a beating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted October 7, 2010 Wow, that sounds like some serious wind BoneCollector! One guy where we were showed us a pic on his cell phone and I swear it was a tornado forming. It was a super black funnel cloud but only half way to the ground. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hunterjohnny Report post Posted October 7, 2010 I left work early from Shamrock on the freeway and missed it. But the damaged to ALL the cars there was incredible. They are all toast! Look for the milk tankers, they are textured real good now! Amazing no one was beat to death, it wouldnt take long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
