Woodson, Texas Hailstorms

This video gives you an idea of the extent of the damage a hailstorm can cause. In the first part of the video you can get an idea of just how many hail stones are falling at once. Listen to the hail hit the car and other objects outside, and watch them bounce along upon hitting the ground. They're almost fun to watch, until you see just how big those hailstones are up close--they are at least the size of a baseball, and probably just as heavy. Imagine being pelted by baseballs from the sky! They show a small house wrecked by the hailstorm, as well as a power cable being hit and sending sparks flying -- extremely dangerous weather. Finally, look at the many dents on the car and the broken windows. This is how destructive hailstorms can get.
