Hail in Austin this evening

I thought my house was being bombed. I was worried that I'd have some windows broken, but it turned out alright. The biggest piece that I found in my backyard was about the size of a big lemon.

from today, from my apartment... (once youtube can process it...)

 

wow...my video of HAIL???? is no longer available....wow, youtube is really cracking down.

 

its working.

 

I got jacked driving back from Round Rock -- had to pull under an overpass at one point because the hail was completely covering the road and was pounding my car. I got the last protected spot on the left shoulder - people just started stopping in the middle of the freeway -- two lanes were filled with people parked on both sides. Others were driving way up the side on the steep part where the bridge meets the embankment. There were at least 35 to 40 cars crammed under it. I can't believe there wasn't a wreck with ice everywhere and people parked bumper to bumper.

 

hmm what time was this at?? didnt see much here at the ut campus.

 

Austin??? I live in Austin, no hail was seen today! What part?

 

Lol this was last week's post. Time Recognition FAIL

 

dude you live near the lake?
I ran out of my house and drove my car in the garage as fast as I can. My car looks alright, I got lucky.

 

Talked to a friend who lives near Anderson Mill and 183. Looks like that part of town got hit pretty bad with the golf ball sized stuff. Lots of cars damaged.

Good news is that now you get to see that jerk Bill Dickason screaming on TV about hail damaged Kia's that are being deeply discounted. "183 and Anderson Mill, next to the water tower!"

 

That clown's down there, too? Does he do the "if we can't beat a new car Kia deal in Texas, we'll just give it to ya!" crap? Damn, he's annoying.

 

yup you got it word for word.

so annoying

 

Yep, same annoying dewsh.

 

Yea it was pretty loud I was in the shower and I was wonder what was the noise I was hearing cameout Ice everywhere.

 

No hail in south austin.

just another reason that s. austin > north

 

I'd rather dodge ice up north than a hail of gunfire down south.

 

sounds like you've been dodging plenty of hail with that car

 

I picked these up off the ground after they had been "melting" for about 20 minutes. The damage to our property (cars, skylights, trees, roof, etc) is amazing. I live in NW Austin.
