Its been raining hard with hail for about 30 minutes

[JoeChalupa]

Hailing like a mofo over here in Converse.

[JoeChalupa]

You nailed it Vashner!!

[Vashner]

Woah some moron in a Cessna 172 just flew right into it.. he was totally cross winding it... (like slide slipping)...

That's not legal unless the guy's instrument rated.. but if he / she is they are beeping crazy.

[NASpurs]

Hailing like a mofo over here in Converse.Yeah I'm in Converse and I nearly got nailed by hail :lol

[SpursWoman]

This has got to be the worst hail storm EVER. We got trapped at the baseball field at Alamo Heights. User is stuck out there somewhere by the Forum. :(

My car is officially destroyed. :wow :lol

I'm at 410 & Harry Wurzbach now ... the hail hasn't stopped in over 30 minutes. I have a few visitors under my oak trees, too. :)

And your laughing!!?? :lol

[MannyIsGod]

We're getting about 20 minutes solid of bigger than marble smaller than golfball sized hail. I'm taking pictures with my camera phone, its fucking crazy right now.

[SpursWoman]

And your laughing!!?? :lol

Eh...it's paid for. :lol


It already had a little hail damage .... but as we were coming home the chunks got bigger and bigger. It was so loud inside my car I was screaming at the top of my lungs and couldn't even hear myself. That was a trip. My ears are still ringing. :wow

I was driving home and the layer of ice/hail on the streets was so thick you could feel the tires crunching it....

Your insurance will pay for hail damage? My mom just told me that her insurance won't.

[SpursWoman]

I don't even think I care...as long as my windshield, sunroof or windows don't get broken. It adds character. :angel

[Sonia_TX]

Hail now!

[Horry For 3!]

I for sure wouldn't want my vehicle all messed up.

[katyon6th]

Holy smokes, I can't drive in this shit and I so wanna leave work.

@)*&#)%(#%)(*#&%)(&*#%)(#&*%&()#%&*

[MannyIsGod]

We still got light hail, but it picks up and dies off in periods. I'm less than a mile north of downtown.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit I had to leave and turn off all the electronic devices because I heard a loud bang from the neighbor's house. Then we started to watch their house and saw smoke coming out of it. We called the firefighters and thankfully no one was home in that house but I feel bad for our neighbor. :( I think she's a single mom with two daughters if I'm not mistaken. She's going to come home with her house in ruins it seems.

[katyon6th]

Wow, that's terrible NASpurs.

[Sonia_TX]

The wind knocked down a tree a few house down. I think the storm is over for us.

And I think some insurances cover hail damage to cars. My car was damaged years back and I did receive money for repair.

The biggest hail was about twice as large as the one there.

[ORION]

the cows got wet over here .........

[NASpurs]

Wow, that's terrible NASpurs.At least no one was home though and everyone is safe I presume. I don't know if they're home yet.

[NASpurs]

[MannyIsGod]

We won't hold our breath...

[Faccia di Angelo]

omg, I've never had to drive in hail before, and I hope to never have to do that again! That was terrible! I kept saying, please stop, please stop. All I kept thinking about was my poor car as I heard the hail hitting the windows and just waiting for the windshields to crack as I tried to find a place to hide.

The gas stations were packed with people trying to fit under the roofs. I finally found a spot and stayed there for a few minutes. My brother in law called me to warn me about it and said it was heading our way. I live by St. Mary's Univ. Where did this come from?? I watched the weather this morning and don't remember hearing a single thing about it! Why Steve?! Why did you forsake me!

It came from the New Braunfels/San Marcos area and just moved down I-35

I don't remember driving in it before, either. I still can't hear very well it was so loud. My kids were digging it, though.

Fortunately it has all but stopped here, and my car isn't that bad after all. From the way it sounded, I have no idea how either my sunroof or my windshield survived it.

:lmao @ Steve

[PM5K]

LOL....

[Vashner]

Awesome power of nature. It's down to 66 now from 96!

[NASpurs]

Awesome power of nature. It's down to 66 now from 96!Yeah that's crazy. They just showed Hondo at 96 and San Antonio right next to it at 66. You would have thought it was some type of error

[Vashner]

Hondo is like a tornado magnet... RUN!!

[Old School Chic]

Vashner was right :depressed

I just got home a few minutes ago. I got caught by that nasty shitty storm when I was leaving the at&t center...

Fucking hail was pounding my poor little car :madrun

[Vashner]

Sorry about the hail.

[exstatic]

It didn't rain because Manny didn't say it would...

[Vashner]

I have no idea why Manny quit his weatherman job?

[RashoFan]

I was at Fort Sam Houston when the storm came in.We had just pulled into Salado Park and took cover under some trees as the hail came down. One of the guys from the office where we activate out of said there was golf ball size hail outside and when it stopped, he would let us know if anyone would have to buy a new windshield. We deactivated and got to the office to find some minor( Thank you God, Thank you Jesus!!!)dings on the hoods of our vehicles...WHEW!!!!!

[Vashner]

you had to "deactivate" to get to an office? That makes no sense...

You mean deactivate an exercise? Normally deactiavte means you go back to reserve status or something like that.

[Taco]

This is from my sister's house she lives about a mile south of Woodlawn lake she got golf ball size hail

You can see the Hail falling sideways!!!

[Taco]

BTW we didn't get crap (sea world area) but a few drops and some strong wind

[MannyIsGod]

We might get a repeat of yesterday. They its getting so damn hot that the atmosphere gets to a point where the lift isn't stopped. The atmosphere gets juiced and wham, you have a supercell on your hands. Whatever forms will probably be isolated but it will be severe.

I don't know if you guys remember the Jarrell tornado about 10 years ago that dropped an F5 in that town and moved in the same way yesterday's storm did and eventually got to SA and did some damage as well, but thats the situation that the atmosphere was in yesterday and today. I've only ever seen a supercell form and move like that twice which was the Jarrell storm and yesterday. It'll be interesting to see what happens today, but don't be suprised if it occurs.

[Vashner]

Yea it's been dark all day here in Bulverde.. but radar is clear.

I knew when Steve Brown said IT WOULD NOT happen again that it would..

As far at the Jarrell that's why I said people of Hondo RUN... I was not joking.

But I guess it went south of them.

[MannyIsGod]

It hasn't even hit 90 yet so Steve Brown might be right. It just isnt' getting hot enough. It probably has to get to around 95 or so before this will happen.

Manny where were you yesterday :depressed

I got stuck for 45 minutes on a fucking hail storm

[MannyIsGod]

Taking a great afternoon nap! Well untill the damn hail woke me up. :lol

In that case, I will listen to Vashner next time... :depressed

Well, hopefully he's safe inside...asleep.

I'm also an animal lover. I have an American Eskimo (White Sox) 2 Red slider turtles (Snickers & Skittles) and a beautiful orange Tabby (Rolo)

We "deactivate" meaning we are finished for the shift and will not be assigned another call. We fuel up and return to our station to clean and restock supplies...
Our company uses a computer system to track our calls, assign calls and tracks the ambulances that are on assignments... Computer Aided Dispatching
We activate at begining of shift & truck info(Crew members, equipment, truck number and deactivation time) is entered into the computer system.

[Vashner]

Ah thought you where military unit. :) My bad..

With those beautiful breasts in the military? :oops

[Vashner]

Oh yea...

BTW It might rain tonight. It's trying to start above Bexar right now..

[RashoFan]

Ah thought you where military unit. :) My bad..
I am prior service(6 years Navy) I work on the ambulance that responds to 911 calls on Ft Sam . There are some similiarities between the Military and PD/ FD/ EMS...just an fyi.

[RashoFan]

BTW...281 and thousand oaks is dry ...

[Vashner]

Yea tracking something from the west it's near Uvalde. Prob won't make it.

[MannyIsGod]

It might make it. It keeps regenerating ont he outflow, so we'll see. Not gonna be a big storm if it does, just some rain and thunder.

[Vashner]

Looks like it will go north of San Antonio. Good for recharge...
