These huge hailstones destroyed the body work on the car and smashed the windshield. Such 4 to 5 inch hailstones have been known to injure or even kill animals and even humans. Never venture out in such conditions. In this case other vehicles also suffered the same fate including this Mercedes Benz that passed by.

  • Hail

    I seem to recall back in the summer of 92 while i was expecting my firstborn, a hailstorm like this one swept through Overland Park KS with tennis ball size hail. I missed it, but when I went to my home later in the day, it was eerily quiet. Not a lot left of the neighbor's brand spanking new Jeep Cherokee which they had just bought 36 hours before. In fact, it was toast. Had Youtube and the other sites existed back then, i sure the hell would have filmed it. Too funny.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Oh heck those look like ping pong size. ...

    of grapefruit size hail a couple times in the last few years. Which is just another reason why I prefer a hardtop over a rag-top any day, and lately I shy away from moon/sun roofs also. Car dealerships are always offering discount prices on hail damaged inventory, and with as thin as the manufacturers roll the sheet metal and glass nowadays is it any wonder?
