We had lots of thunderstorms come through Oklahoma last night. The bad hail was all south of us fortunately. Golf ball and baseball sized hail is bad pookie. It can kill horses or cattle, and will total out a car in short order. We got .01 inches of rain out of it.
More storms today. So far just rain. I don't mind rain the just washes down the drain. That lumpy - chunky rain is something I prefer to avoid.
They say to keep a chunk of hail the size of a baseball suspended in the air takes 300 MPH updrafts. Then they fall at 90 MPH and can you image getting hit with a baseball thrown at 90 MPH. Similar force to a 22 long rifle on impact, only spread out over the larger area.
