hail

Is coming down in golf ball sized pieces outside right now.
At first I thought someone was throwing rocks at my house, because I have headphones on.
As warm as it is out here, this is strange.
It's kind of pretty though... Getting nice colors outside from sun rays shining through clouds.

When I was little, it hailed
Not too big, but it was the first time I saw it, so I thought it was snow and rushed out to let it fall on me
The pain was funny, now that I think about it

I went outside to look at my car, and there are some little dents in it. Got clocked in the head by some pieces and was like fuck this, lol.
It's not that slushy kind of hail either... it's big clear looking solid spheres of ice. Ouch.

That's got to suck
I remember I was watching something on Real TV one time
The hail absolutely totaled some car (size of a softball)

A few years ago, in coastal Mississippi, in July, I was mowing the lawn, sweating to death in humid, sunny 90+ heat and it hailed for about 5 minutes, about the same size as that photo.

Yeah, it feels like some kind of crazy natural disaster is about to happen... Things get really weird when a big storm comes.
We had a tornado go right through the back yard before, it cut down huge trees and everything. Sounded like a vacuum. Barely missed hitting us.
I ate some blue foots earlier too, which makes everything look really cool.

Yup. It was wild too... I was kind of just frozen and staring at it.
I didn't feel like moving because it was so interesting looking. I was just locked into staring at it.

That happened to us about a month ago; marble sized hail dented up the roof and hood of my car. It's an older car and I only have liability so it will not be getting fixed. It's not all that bad.
It could have been worse.
There is a little municiple airport no more than a 1/4 mile down the road and they were reporting baseball sized hail. I still find that hard to believe but it is an airport with it's own weather station so maybe the hail was that big down the road.
