    No! Gotta find out where it is and go see it. Seriously, thanks for the heads up.

    It's still fscking 96 degrees here and no sign of any storms.

    ETA: OK, checked the radar. Front should move through here in about 1.5 to 2 hours.

    It came through here a few hours ago. dark skies, high cold winds, hail, rain. And most of it passed to the north of me so I wasn't right under it. . I'd imagine it was a lot worst right under it. Still a lot of residual lightning and thunder all around.

    Classic summer weather round here. I'm sure we'll be seeing plenty more of it before the fall/winter comes.

    Friend of mine had a Mercedes 180 utterly bashed to ruin by softball sized hail in Italy back in the sixties. Don't wander out in it; that stuff can kill.

    On June 6th, 2007 a fellow ham/shooting buddy who lives in Akron had his F-350 Super Duty get beat right to hell as a result of grapefruit-sized hail which fell from a 60kft-tall SE-moving supercell. The storm eventually went tornadic one county further southeast; all told, it did around $100 million in damage to the area...mostly from hail.
