    1. This kind of hail storm is likely what killed a huge number of people at Rooopkund (skeleton lake) in the Himalayas! Archaeologists have found hundreds of bodies up there with peculiar blunt force trauma

      When are we going to turn these crazy extremes into a positive? Imagine, stay with me, imagine the power Jupiter creates in wind power alone!

      A couple weeks ago in the KC area, some folks had literal softball/apple sized hail. this shit is cray

      Growing up in the Chicago area, for some reason every single storm warning included Kankakee. Don’t think I would have learned the name of that town without it.

      When was this? I’m not terribly far from here and we didn’t have so much as a sprinkle of rain today.

      in Fort worth 1995, we had softball size hail strike during our big annual family friendly “May fest.” kids had to get therapy. People ran under trees for cover, but the branches were all knocked down on top of them. Hail went right through sunroofs and through the roofs of area homes. 400+ injuries.

      This from the storm a couple weeks back?  Sister was only just missed by the tornado when it moved through Indiana.

    8. Hey guys just a reminder that global warming is a hoax. I know this because the politicians paid by oil lobbyists told me so and defunded environmental research.

      Had this in Africa as a kid on a vacation. Most bizarre event of my life.

      On the beach 10 minutes from the hotel, hot day, not a cloud in the sky.

      Suddenly huge clouds gathered and we decided to head back, about 25 meters from the hotel it started hailing maybe 3/4 or a half the size of this. My dad was sheltering me under a palm tree with his shirt. I’m convinced if there wasn’t a palm tree there we wouldn’t have made it.
