As a new subscriber from Calgary, thank you for talking about the June 13 event. Luckily I only got very heavy rain with occasional pea sized hail but you still see the scars of hail dents when you enter the NE. This same storm went on to produce 2 weak tornadoes in southern Alberta as well. All in all, a very destructive yet beautiful storm, and is what triggered my interest in weather, which lead me to you.

I'm so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago, I really enjoy your videos!

In OK in 1988 during a tornado and hail storm, we had softball size hail (I grabbed one off the front porch and put in freezer). It broke through our skylights (glass flying everywhere) through the metal air conditioning system outside, ripped the liner out of our inground pool and destroyed cars in car lots. It was the craziest storm I’ve been in.

I remember when I was about 13-14 I was out in a cow pasture behind our house with a few neighbors. All of a sudden the sky got SUPER dark out of nowhere and it started hailing softball sized hail. We ran under the nearest tree because the houses were hundred of yards away. For about 5 minutes we huddled together while limbs were getting ripped off trees around us. It ended up killing 2 cows in the pasture we were in. It broke every car window within about 5 miles of us. We got lucky that day. That was over 20 years ago and I still think about it every time the sky gets dark. I’ve lived through probably 50 tornados, but hail scares me even more.

Imagine the wind velocity necessary to lift baseball size hailstones. Imagine the Goose egg you'd have getting hit in the head by a baseball size hailstone. Insane.

This channel is the best consistent reminder of why I want to avoid any state between Nevada and Pennsylvania

We did get hail in Florida once! We were in the garage and it only lasted only about 30 seconds, but we heard it hit the roof and we saw it in the grass the moment it ended. It was about quarter sized, not that big. Like a minute after it happened the warning went off and we were all laughing “NOW You tell us!!”

Colorado is crazy for hail. I grew up in the PNW and when I moved here I was so confused why freezing balls were pelting us from the sky lol

“That’s exactly what it is, minus the glue and the child” Lmaooooo

In the early '80s a storm hit Bowers Beach Delaware that produced a strong easterly wind, driving golfball-sized hail onto houses, buildings, vehicles and any exposed living creatures.

Another good Weatherbox Wednesday! Great video again, Steve.

love your video!

Your videos just get better great work

Ive lived in Red Deer AB for 8 years now, and we get TONS of hail.

Once it hailed in Chattanooga, TN the same day there was freezing rain. There was freezing rain in the morning and in the evening it was about 37 degrees and it started thunderstorming and a lot of small hail fell. I guess it did not take much of an updraft to lift the water droplets to freezing levels because it was so cold. Everyone else thought it was just big sleet but I knew better.

Congrats on 6k subs! This channel is absolutely fantastic and breaks things down so simply. Look forward to more content!

Hey Steve great stuff. Keep the good work up. We look forward to weatherbox Wednesdays every week

Love the video! Can't wait for your next upload, always find them so fasincating

The hailstorm that hit Denver was no joke. All of my coworkers vehicles were destroyed. Ironically I was suppose to drive back home to Missouri that day, but I was homesick so I left right after getting off work that Saturday before. One of my coworkers sent me a clip of the hail falling telling me what I had missed. I was so lucky as our job was in Golden which was one of the hardest hit areas.
