Hailstorm!

Houston, TX. April 2. 77 degrees. Golf ball sized hail! Are you freaking kidding me???!!! Anyone else in Houston have an intense 5 minute hailstorm within the last 15 minutes?

No, there's no such thing as climate change...

Miraculously I don't think I took any damage. I'll have to inspect closer when I get home and the car doesn't have any water beads on it. I guess it always sounds worse than it is. My office is in a trailer with a tin roof.

LOL. BB Here in dallas we got crazy thunderstorm with winds up to 85 mph 2 weeks ago. It was crazy because I thought my house and fence was going to blow away.

Also, being the stupid person I am I decide to walk outside during that thunderstorm and got hit with rain drops that felt like rubber bullets in the face. Never doing that again.

Yeah we got hit over on Harwin. Luckily we had a dock door and just drove my car into it about halfway in. I didn't see any damage, but gotta check again in the morning.
