What the hail?

[mrsmaalox]

We had a mix of sizes here in Stone Oak: pea size, gumball size, and a few golf ball sized. My garage is currently occupied, so my car is out. I'm afraid to go check on it

Then how come all the towns before SA reported hail and all the area east of the medical center got hail after we did? How hard is it to say hail is reported in Brandea and is headed towards San Antonio?

I was able to call my girlfriend 10 minutes before the hail reached her on 410 and Broadway and I don't even own a satellite dish or is related to Manny.

face it that fat that looks like Fred Flintstones on KSAT is to busy checking his face book page when he should have been warning us.

Oh wait, they only break into TV when it's Spurs playoff game I forgot.

Eh, I agree with you there. Weathermen suck. A lot of weathermen you see on TV have a "broadcast meteorology" degree, which does not mean they know a lot about the weather. On the other hand, perhaps the entire station is at fault. I dunno.

Far be it for me to defend the weather guys, but we broke in at about 9:14 p.m., so no.

That's kind of Mouse's point. At 9:14 pm the hail was already in San Antonio. He's saying that it should have been reported that it was on its way, prior to getting here. (I'm not sure if it was or not .. I don't watch the news.)

Try working out in the open and having that storm sneak up on you like it did tonight.

That was a ....

back in the late 80s and early 90s we did hat shows at all major events. Many have no idea what it's like to have your booth or display destroyed in under 5 minutes after it took you 4 hours to set up.

I have new respect for people that travel and have to work out doors it's a challenge. I can imagine the stories Tpark has about the out door entertainment business.

I did like the fact you travel and meet all kinds of people.

It happened REAL fast. The storm was up near Austin, moving east, and suddenly the dry line erupted southwest VERY fast. It looked like a lightning strike on the radar.

I lost power for over 2 hours. The front part and southeast part of the subdivision was all black.

The guys went up more than five minutes before we went on-air... we had to wait for closed captioning people to acknowledge they'd be ready to go once we went on-air.

Regardless, there are people who don't need (nor do I want) to defend publicly. Carry on, Mouse... your comment below did make me chuckle.

I really don't give a rats ass if i ever get a warning. I just don't like to see millions spent on fancy electrical gadgets we don't really need. It reminds me of Haliburton and NASA. Trillions spent and we still have Cancer.

it hailed here in austin as well, un ing conveniently for me since i was about to step out the door for the night when that started pouring.

[PuttPutt]

Well, no hail here in central Washington, but it is snowing. Which was a bit of a suprise to me.

[Al Gore]

You can't say I didn't warn you all.

I am in the insurance business. If you are thinking about reporting a claim on your house, let a week or two go by allowing some sun to hit the roof. Then if you think you have damage, I would call a roofer for an opinion. If the roofer thinks you have damage, then report the claim to your insurance company.

That was relatively small hail which usually doesn't cause damage to roofs. The last thing you want is to report a hail claim and then have an adjuster or roofer from the insurance company inspect and tell you there is no damage. Then you have a needless claim on your record whiich may affect your rates in the future.

We got pea size hail at our place. That wind was

[ATRAIN]

I left my sunroof open. I completely forgot until my dad came in and said, "Hey, you left your sunroof tilted open..."

I've had my car for about a year and a half, I'm lucky it's the first time it's happened.

LOL you dumbass hahaha

[SpursStalker]

I got about quarter size hail at my place. The wind blew a gutter off the roof missing my car by mere feet ...

[CosmicCowboy]

Wow that was a crazy storm...I looked at the radar while it was hailing and it was a solid, narrow red line from San Antonio all the way to Northeastern Oklahoma.

[CubanMustGo]

Shame it didn't stick around a little longer, we could have used the rain.
