Welcome To Sunny Colorado! – Yesterday’s Weather

Herb’s blog, Herbdate 22098-669:

We get a few hailstorms a year. This one was more of a biggie with golf ball sized hail. On the Eastern Plains they have been known to have softball sized. This may be my “Throw-It-Back Thursday” entry, except throwing it back isn’t really an option. People are bruised and sometimes more seriously injured if they are caught out in it. We just had our roof replaced in 2016 after one of those. We will probably have the insurance guy come out and take a look, though, just in case.

      Yeah, it’s something to see. Kind of freaky in a way.

      You don’t want to be outside for too long, that’s for sure.

        Insurance companies regularly seed the clouds so that helps. However, certain neighbourhoods in the north end of the city this summer were demolished by a hail storm.

          Yeah, hail is no joke, that’s for sure.

    I still remember the hailstorm I experienced there. I mean, there may have been many when I lived there, but I was only outside for one. Well, waiting under an awning.

      Thanks. We stayed under the shelter of the porch, but it does get to be something.
