I posted this on my facebook without adding a caption, and my aunt actually thought it was a golfball. Being from from Connecticut, this is the first time I've seen any hail this size.

Wow that is a series piece of ice - was there much damage ? Did it last long ?

Woah, that's scary! If I ever smash my K20D to bits, I'll show pentax that picture and say, "But you said it was weather sealed..."

I have about a thousand little dents in my car. But it would have been worse if I wasn't parked under a tree. Some people who were driving had their windshields smashed, that's gotta suck. It only lasted for about 5 minutes.

Feel free to use the picture for getting warranty replacements whenever you want

So that's what's heading up our way. Great.

Upper 60s and 70s the past two weeks and they're talking SNOW overnight tonight. Thanks Texas.

Oklahoma... the buckle of the Bible Belt. Do I need to worry... her car got blasted last year... thank goodness she was not driving.

We ended up with about 5 inches of SNOW today here in Tulsa, Gus.

My insurance paid to replace the siding, roof, and window screens (about $13K total damages) on my home about 8 years ago because of hail damage. On top of that, the hail stones didn't come with $20 bills like those of jeenyus.
