Huge hail, now tornado sirens

Post by matthew1 »

I watched hail hitting my 850 for about 15 minutes, now tornado sirens are going off. Ahh, springtime in the Rockies.

I was making a mad dash across town a few weeks back to avoid a hail storm when paralyzed drivers with dumbfounded looks impeded my escape. I was able to get under an overpass and only got windblown smaller hail hits. I was aghast at all the damage later when car dried. I was amazed at how the bulk of the dents disappeared from the aluminum panels when the sun came out and the temp warmed up.

Hopefully you escaped the damage.

No damage. I was watching the size and hardness of the hail closely. I had a new blankets at the ready to throw on the hood, roof and trunk if it got to that point.
