Baseball Size Hail Storm in Dallas, TX 6/13/12

Baseball size hailstorm in Dallas, TX. Wednesday June 13, 2012 in Lakewood. Our house and cars were obliterated in the storm.

[@carmen0077]

I love it when you say, Oh my God, is UNBELIEVABLE but believable because you record it, thank you so much for your beautiful video.

[@PJBovio]

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC FOOTAGE!!! It can't get better than this!!!

[@metafis2490]

A window replacement business's dream come true!

[@erichill7664]

Lol AMEN to that business be Boomin on that day

[@ResearchNational]

Actually windows don't often break in these storms... roofs do!

[@ronaldsolberg6231]

For 35 years I did nothing but hail related roofing work. Retired in 06. I was located in the far northern panhandle. 89 miles north of Amarillo.

[@awwala1]

Just wondering how devastating it'd be for the homeless and delicate animals!🙄

[@Zoza15]

It's obvious they're not happy about it, imagine one of these baseball size hail hitting your skull from the sky like a bullet in high speed, you're a good as death or in the process of dying with 50 and more hail balls heading your way.

[@donburke4886]

That was a great video to watch...There is nothing better than watching an incredible weather event such as this.. Absolutely brilliant to see.

[@nlimskater]

This is why I love Dallas, don't forget about the thunder storms!

[@Nukenado-dr9nz]

nlimskater and tornadoes

[@hebneh]

Notice that the dark car that drives by at 4:13 has no back window anymore, although it's covered with leaves which means the driver tried to take refuge under a tree - which obviously didn't work.

[@811Thunder]

This is brutal. The steam. It's magnificent.

[@bryanneideffer3969]

Yes might have been a wee bit cold after

[@squirreltamer2548]

So that’s what hail roar sounds like. Scary.

[@nenblom]

Everything is big in Texas, even the hail!

[@mariannefroholdt9783]

Poor birds an animals living outside😯

[@noenaburnell3245]

Birds and animals know these things are coming even before we do. Inbuilt radar, better than ours. They are better prepared and ready too.

[@rishirishiroopnarine5067]

Noena Burnell All move away

[@ronaldsolberg6231]

One time there was a hail storm in Gruver. I was looking at some roofs and something seemed funny. I came to me all of a sudden I hadn't seen a live bird in the whole town of about 2,500. I worked the storm for 10 months and the whole time seen very few birds. A few years later they had made their comeback.

[@huejeffnerd]

thanks man! I am still in shock of how big the hail was.

[@jwilcox4726]

That was amazing. Thank you for holding the camera, I couldn't have. I would have been safe somewhere in center of home maybe in a closet or bathtub. Wow that was something else. So 7 years ago your boy would be how old now? I hope he stayed out of trouble or is out of it now. Good luck in life to the whole family. Keep safe & God bless each and every one. Peace.

[@cbmuzik3000]

Man, shivers go through me every time I see this video. And your voice as it was happening reminds me of a drama with hail....it sounds JUST like it!

[@skylilly1]

Incredible footage!

[@JohnAranita]

When I was a small kid in Orange County, California, hails were fun!!!

[@soulandfire9252]

That errie mist, I like the way you just filmed with no commentary, I imagine you were speechless

[@PureVikingPowers]

I feel bad for the stray cats that day 😿😿

[@leaf2180]

All the stray animals. Not just cats.

[@pbs4535]

Baseball sized hail can do serious damage to anything in its path.

[@kathleenlock8963]

It's true, everything IS bigger in Texas.

[@davidlafleche1142]

Texans must be disappointed that it wasn't FOOTBALL-sized hail.

[@alexlubbers1589]

the hail fog looks so cool

[@tejinderkaurbamra7280]

I like this season very much

[@LeoAbukar]

The hail on the ground makes it look like a cotton field.

[@LeoAbukar]

@Mike Rich probably cuz your not black! Please this is a joke don't cancel me.

[@jayshehuuwan2006]

WoW!!What a hail but what an awesome !!! ... What do they do with the cars I imagine that they do not put them in the parking lot !! Oh my God !! Awesome !!

[@3hon]

Wow I live in Northeast no hail but too much snow ,

[@paulinegenner2588]

The Great Big Balls Of Hail ☔

[@TheCarArmor]

The car armor hail protection system keeps cars safe

[@hawkdsl]

That's some giant sized snow flakes right there...

[@SashineB]

WOW! And notice the steam coming up from the street as the ice melts on the pavement. You're lucky you were inside. Getting hit with hail is not fun.

[@JoshvanHulst]

My house and cars were totaled of Largent (near the Lakewood theater)

[@ladybug123212]

Watching this in 2021

[@finoloks5009]

north pole is heating up.. so the glaciers of migrating. to better land ..

[@davidlafleche1142]

5,000 years ago, the polar ice cap used to be as far south as Kansas, and it has been melting back ever since. Why should it stop? Man did not cause the ice cap to melt, nor can man prevent it from melting.

[@kaspervestergaard2383]

@@davidlafleche1142 You are fucking dumb.

[@IIIAnchani]

baseball sized? That's more like golfball sized tbh

[@nancymaxwell5922]

I would say that's more golfball size - I was in a storm w/golfball size hail about 10 yrs ago in Minneapolis - it can do plenty of damage...

[@drizzelnchewtv3528]

WOW WHERE IN DALLAS😲

[@seanbaskett5506]

I'd hate to be the insurance agent who has to deal with all those claims.

[@chrisrobinson3494]

So would this have been a bad day to have gone on a picnic?

[@bryanneideffer3969]

Naaa baseball helmet few batz no worries

[@RickyUltra]

At least you could use the hail for the drinks in the cooler

[@huejeffnerd]

That's what my friend was telling me. This happened in the 90's to them...

[@chlo6004]

If it’s baseball sized hail then play baseball with it

[@juiceybananas5489]

Spooky look as the rain and hail cool the asphalt and create that fog as if the hail alone wasnt spooky enough for you .

[@knightwolf8850]

Imagine someone having a bald head day 😂

[@aliciayoung9546]

If You Go Outside Your Asking For It! Its Not Even Rain It's Balls of Ice! That's What I Call A Phenomenon!😲😲 I Would Be Praying 🙏

[@Martin9476]

You clearly see all the steam coming off the tarmac and all the leaves raining down.

[@erikaerin]

How do birds survive in hail storms?

[@johnhummer265]

They don't .....they're oblierated!

[@flatulenceone]

Some don't.

[@lvgeeco7121]

They migrate

[@jackduffy1817]

Erika Martin, They don't prince's, They die, Please don't cry, They go to heaven. Just sigh.

[@queen_b9280]

I believe the sense storms then they hide lol 🤷‍♀️

[@jameshenry2457]

Look at the HORNS on those HELLSTONES !

[@jerseyman9080]

I guess people in Dallas need to check the actual size of Baseball.

[@danmorris4375]

Car insurance worst nightmare four full coverage LOLOLOLOL 😆

[@mr.wizard2974]

Where's my baseball bat?

[@stephenjstclair]

Wow. Nice camera work.

[@Guitarman7133]

All the rappers should get together and make a music video outside when this happens. Hopefully, they would have to do a few takes. Fuck hip hop and shit pop.

[@hudthestud6758]

Well everything’s bigger in Texas.

[@sliegon]

Not at all in the central

[@ArtObjects]

Hi Jeff, I am linking to your video from the World of Nomadic Fungi as an example of the hail storm in Dallas. Please let me know if you have any objections. Sincerely, Brad Ford Smith

Don't be outside in this, it will kill you.

[@joeferaco9896]

Roof replacement

[@kennethblack314]

Did you go out and mow the hail afterwards?

[@chrisrobinson3494]

If he had, somebody would have called the "Men in white coats" & had him taken away!

[@unitedstatesofarabia22]

Awesome

[@scatpack1381]

Cloudy with a chance of snow cones. 🍦

[@HijauKertas]

[@marymcwright8980]

Ouch!

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

It's a good time to be a roofer in Abilene right now. (they got hit bad yesterday). This just goes to show (-o-o-) every things bigger in Texas. bigger in Texas. Whats weird is living in Oklahoma you'd expect us to get hit a lot more often by stuff like this here in Tulsa but we rarely do. Tulsa is just lucky when it comes to severe weather I guess. Not the Rest of OK though. They get fucked.

Good video but way too many F-Bombs. Learn self restraint and expand your vocabulary before posting another VLOG. Such language is not necessary.
