HUGE monster hail pummels Colorado Springs through Fountain, CO

[@ELMEROPERROEMP]

Colorado getting beat up this year by hail woo wee! No bueno captain! But Insurance companies are making a fortune $$$$...stay safe!

[@camarowland4]

There's a point where they start to lose. And we've reached that. I've had two roofs in two weeks, 3 totalled cars including a 40k Cherokee and an agreed upon 20k camaro. They're starting to get sick of it.

[@FELiPES101]

you don't understand how insurance works by the sound of your comment

[@Mopar300S]

Was on Fort Carson for this one, it was much bigger there. Smh.

[@243Abolerz]

I was outside Gate 3 by Safeway when this happened. Happened to me again in 2020 right before I ETSd. I love it out there but I'll never move to Colorado for this

[@mtx303]

wow amazing footage Reed.

[@brody_wx568]

What was that bright light at 1:48?

[@BrokenAngelMNM]

Poor Reed.. He goes trough So much to bring us the Best storm footage Much love to you Reed Timmer!!

[@DavidBeeMedia]

Thank you for risking your safety for our video.

[@jonathonsteffen7457]

Reed how many windshields do you go through during the season

[@hooligan7266]

Welcome to Colorado where the hail can reach up to baseball sized. Colorado, you’re not lost, you’re here.

[@floridaracingchannel6245]

So happy you have a KZbin channel now Reed, haven't seen you since Storm Chasers. Definitely just subbed I know great things are to come on this channel.

[@dougbowers8759]

Thanks for the news without all the showbiz the news channels give us.

[@timthompson8297]

I just spent the last nine weeks in Colorado but thankfully I never saw anything quite that bad. As it was, I was afraid hail would break my solar panels.

[@DavidBeeMedia]

Hadn’t thought about that. This could definitely harm some panels.

[@moonpaints4090]

This happens before and no one went crazy. Calm down everyone.

[@alexnewberry8074]

Standing under a tree during a severe storm seems like a risky thing to do, but hey, if you're gonna die, let it be on camera, right? Yahoo!

[@chimayai]

outside...under trees...in a hailstorm dropping softball-sized projectiles. I swear, Timmer, something's loose.

[@WatchTashi]

This destroyed cars, homes, and left millions in damage. The worst was near the zoo/Broadmoor area. Biggest hail my husband has ever seen.

[@carolenagel2254]

Why are you standing in the hail storm?

[@Saint_nobody]

For the KZbins. 😂

[@paulwhite6742]

Stay safe reed,it came down pretty good in motor city by downtown springs by I 25

[@RedRacconKing]

What does the car repair bill look like for a storm chaser? Not maintenance but like body work and glass, stuff like that. Also what is the most number of windshields that have broken in a single storm chasing season?

[@nathanfehr562]

Cyrus Yousefian depends what you do to ur vehicle. If u line-x the car it would only be Windows but if you don't then.......... the light blue car in the vid is what happens to yours. So ua

[@rebeccawhittle9160]

The sound of monster hail must be deafening

[@sirensofneohio3979]

Wow! There’s at Tornado on the ground near York, NE. There isn’t a warning for it, but there’s clear rotation!

[@ReedTimmerWx]

I saw that storm west of OMA finally went warned

[@sirensofneohio3979]

I know! Looking at radar, it looks like one touched down. Apparently there was 4.74 inch hail during the storm. We have a Sever Thunderstorm Warning in my area right now. I also heard that a Sheriff reported a Funnel in Toledo, OH.

[@dominickirkwood]

Very good my bro keep up 💯

[@muddobbermuddobber8118]

Hey guys parking under a tree will ease up the hail damage...Ill go down with my CHEVY....

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Word

[@muddobbermuddobber8118]

Reed Timmer ......to the wise...

[@ShebrewQueen]

Reed is always so dramatic. Lol.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Hell yes

[@ShebrewQueen]

Reed Timmer haha... I've been following your work for longer than I can remember. I still love your dramatic behind. 😂😂😂 😘❤

[@bmarie8965]

Ell' Nem no honey they were baseball size hail that shattered Windows and killed some zoo animals

[@tracphonemobile6866]

did it break your glass?

[@dtrnationaltravels734]

This isnt dramatic, this is real. Cheyene mountain zoo had ANIMALS die and people injured. Call this dramatic when the hail is life threatening.

[@timmoore760]

Reed you were right by my house in fountain please be safe

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Yes must have been very close! What a flood down the creek from that one

[@dianarussell6278]

Hail hurts doesn't it? Those "big" stones in Manitoulin was nothing. I drove right into the middle of that storm in our Outback Legacy. Right before the storm the drivers side window wouldn't go up for anything(warning #1) Then when I got the intersection of Powers and Fontaine where I could go north or south to the freeway, a little voice said, " Take Powers north." I said, "No, I'll be late for my appointment. I'll just get a little wet. " So at about 2:30 pm on Mon. August 6th I went south down Mesa Ridge Parkway smack in the middle of the worst hail storm I've seen in my life with an open drivers side window. I got just past Syracuse and all hail broke loose. I got pummeled through the open window by hail between baseball and golf ball sized. Two very large ones hit my left elbow rendering it useless. I thought it was broken for sure. Fortunately it was well padded as were the other places I was hit. I counted 6 bruises other than my left arm which turned into one huge bruise from just above my elbow all the way to my wrist. I still have a knot on my elbow and a couple of visible bruises.

[@S-I-T]

I'd rather be out in the hail than shelter under a tree during lightning. Crazy people.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Yeah dropped the ball waiting for that flood lol

[@siriusgd4753]

3:40 And I wish I could say it was a rare occurrence. It's not. It happens more often then I like. It destroyed my Mustang. Put holes in the convertible top. Need a new windshield. And have dimples all over.

[@pie112098]

Same. This storm fucked up my mustang convertible too

[@boomersooner41377]

That same storm dropped golf ball size hail at my house closer to Manitou Springs. It caused quite a bit of flooding in Cascade too. Broken windshields all over the place in this area.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Wild weather Reed!

[@michaelatencio2917]

Gotta love that Colorado weather. I love my State, no place like it in the world. Salute Reed Timmer for all he's done in the meteorology community.

[@thunderstorms2112]

michael atencio Lol me too. Lovely state, but bipolar weather.

[@CenterStarsChannel]

Yea there were some monsters today.

[@tinytt854]

This happens EVERY YEAR. Best way to take out dings is pour hot water on it. Windows.....that's a different story.

[@LisaCSCO]

10 weeks later and still in a hotel while house gets repaired. All new windows, gutters, house repainted inside and out, insulation, drywall, roofing shingles all the down to new plywood. (Softball size hail came thru the roof and ceilings) 4 hours of torrential downpour came thru all the way into the house ruining brand new hardwood floors. Builders said our neighborhood in Fountain looked just like a hurricane hit.

[@LisaCSCO]

And 3 totalled vehicles.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

My goodness sorry you guys had to go through all that

[@alexcarter8807]

Those hail stones in his hand look too perfect, I wonder if he took some smaller ones and smooshed them together.

[@starrwalker3746]

I live in Fountain. That storm was crazy! We thought it was a tornado.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

A few rounds of storms on multiple days! More this week possible

[@cy8685]

They didn't even show Fountain, where they got about 4 inches of hail. We're working there now - a lot of homes have severely damaged vinyl siding. But that's typical for Colorado.

[@kingdomofhope3371]

😂😂😂😂🤣 Run Forest Run😂😂🤣😎 you are too funny!! Thanks I needed an early morning chuckle with my coffee.☕ and OUCH😁

[@ReedTimmerWx]

We are lucky that storm didn't drop its baseballs a few minutes earlier!

[@TheMaisiewoofwoof]

Insurance companies win again lol. Cars need bullet proof glass over there for hail. Awesome footage as always Reed, my daughter is seriously considering meteorolgy thanks to the footage you post. 😆

[@ReedTimmerWx]

In this case I think the insurance companies lost haha

[@TheMaisiewoofwoof]

Reed Timmer haha yep I think maybe your right 😁😁

[@68camarorsss33]

The Dummyblondes How did they win?? I must be confused

[@TheMaisiewoofwoof]

68CamaroRS/SS lol no worries. I meant that although the insurance companies have to pay out on claims initially, they then hike up the price of nsurance cover.

[@cy8685]

How do insurance companies "win", when they're paying out all those claims?

[@aidandrury9542]

What is the weridest thing you've seen happen I've seen it go from rain to small hail to snow in a matter of minutes but I don't live where much happens

[@cy8685]

I once saw it snowing while the sun was shining - and it was 55 degrees! Another time, it was like a blizzard at 10:00AM with 4" of snow on the ground. By 4:00 PM that same day the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and not a single flake of snow remained.

[@alexsweetheart2312]

I was staying with my parents in fountain when the first one happened. There have been four or so massive storms.

[@joyzuegn317]

Thanks again for posting this Reed. I wilbe subscribing to your chanel. Hell i will get the dom going again. It will have a seat for me tho mate!!!

[@michelleross9782]

HOW do you not have more subscribers?

[@michelleross9782]

Honestly, I'm a new subscriber who just happened to see if you had a channel since Storm Chasers had been gone awhile. You do some publicity/marketing & I bet a lot of people will come to your channel.

[@chasersrblx1935]

ew.

[@honeysucklejen]

Take a drink every time Reed loses a windshield 🍸 lol

[@LindaGailLamb.0808]

honeysucklejen Good way to get drunk !!

[@charlesgiosano7767]

I live in Colorado Springs lol, my car got destroyed.

[@alexcarter8807]

I've lived there - it's bad when the hail's so heavy it clogs the storm drains and the streets get a lot of water sloshing around like it's hail soup or something.

[@brendanurre1517]

This hail storm killed two animals at the Cheyenne mountain zoo and caused it to close for a few days because of the damages.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Poor things

[@beasy2437]

Lost my car , live 1000ft from fountain creek in fountain. Got a concussion for 3 days and a bleeding wound on my head from this trying to save the car that got totaled

[@kmaassociates7999]

Nearly 2" of pea to cherry size hail in extreme southern California provided spectators with a 20 minute motor vehicle ballet sensation in the mid 1970's. US Navy aircraft squadrons didn't laugh though.

[@Saint_nobody]

Good. Fuck those navy tossers. This is an army/air force town. 😂

[@jesseysamchez1824]

It's been pretty intense... July 13th, we had another storm, Softball sized... I'm on my third car in two months now...

[@HikerHansen]

Do you get a bonus from AccuWeather every time you can get hailstone to crack the windsheild?

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Haha no unfortunately

[@zoevazdecarvalho6946]

I wanna be like you. Not scared of storms as I am. I wish my phobia wasn't a thing :/

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Mine started as fear. Fine line with curiosity

[@zoevazdecarvalho6946]

Reed Timmer that's really cool! Also how do you fix your windshields? Ours broke and we don't know where to go 😂

[@kaitlinski493]

We just had our roof done monday too! 😠😭😤

[@kvngbreezy2382]

Kaitlin Ski so what happened

[@cadimac8379]

We are still on the waiting list for repairs from the first storm in late june...thank god we didn't get it done b4 this last one..

[@kaitlinski493]

Vic Salone I hear ya! Thankfully our roofers offered to pay the second deductible! No new roof until the season is over though! 😩

[@kvngbreezy2382]

Kaitlin Ski that’s good

[@kaitlinski493]

Nacho Cheese you live around here?

[@dianarussell6278]

Oh by the way, the Subaru gave up her life for me. She was a total loss.

[@rebeccaswilling1771]

You need a windshield protector

[@hebneh]

If Reed travels around to different places to chase storms and rents cars most of the time, he probably has been blacklisted by all the major car rental companies for multiple instances of major weather damage.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

All good believe it or not!

[@hebneh]

Reed Timmer You must always get insurance when you rent 'em, if they're coming back with busted windshields and lots of dents.

[@aribasmajian18]

The hail in colorado springs gets pretty bad in Denver it gets bad as well but colorado springs is bad and it happens quite a bit

[@deanaward7769]

Yeah we were in the garage filming and both cars got totaled

[@camarowland4]

I WAS THERE. THEY WERE IN THE TREES

[@loridennis2989]

You're not buffing that out!

[@lorilange8654]

Whoa! Hope no one was hurt?

[@youngswag803]

I would try to drive under the tree

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Not a bad idea

[@siriusgd4753]

I've done that many times but finally my luck ran out and had no cover.

[@pie112098]

My friend and I did that. That was after the hail already cracked almost the whole windshield lol

[@carlcolorado3549]

Safer to stay in your car then get out and risk getting hit. Windshields are designed not to fall apart even after damaged. There's a film that holds it together. Just nuts to see someone get out! Lol

[@sneakhyperion9297]

Body shops... "gods be praised"

[@Saint_nobody]

Uh, which ones?

[@cy8685]

Actually, no. Everyone in Colorado knows there will just be another hail storm, so instead of fixing the damage, we just drive around with dented cars. Cops don't even ticket us for broken windshields - for the same reason.

[@christianchristiangirl2121]

Why are you outside?

[@ReedTimmerWx]

I'll take my chances

[@gabigibs5182]

This has happened so much this year. It’s crazy. I love rain and all but this has me worried! 😅 i live in fountain

[@cy8685]

It happens every year. And it's not crazy - it's normal.

[@grapejuice1228]

That hail killed 4 animals at the Cheyenne zoo

[@moomoo3031]

they should be taking movies of all the poor cows and horses and other animals that have NO shelter from hail...it's gotta hurt so much on them...I feel for the animals, not the stupid cars

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Yes those poor things

[@bvierville1]

Ouch!

[@4672-m9f]

Must be the murdered Veterans funeral today

[@darcybarnes7705]

Soooooo happy I didn't get to much damage that day

[@emmadiy8341]

I got hit by one and it’s hurts so bad it feels like your getting hit by baseballs

[@RayT70]

One of those blessed hailstones hit me on the head ...

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Damn hopefully you're okay! Need to always have the bike helmet with you in CO

[@RayT70]

I'm okay. Thanks for asking. I could of used one of those.

[@jordyng0719]

This was crazy I remember seeing a windshield and it looked like someone took a baseball bat to it😬

[@LindaGailLamb.0808]

You need hail guards for the windows. And a helmet.

[@jamesowan1066]

You are brave lol. Cool video thanks

[@lorde5878]

timmy turner's mom is at it again

[@chrisdawson265]

Yes that HURT 😁🌨😓⚡👍

[@Scorpion7substance]

That man screaming must have lost so much HP. I hope a med kit in a drum or at least a full size cooked turkey is laying around.

[@WatchTashi]

Scorpion7substance you must not live here, you’d have been screaming too.

[@Fftuuufchii]

You should see the broadmors golf course

[@luvlife8277]

And of course I just moved here...been here one month barley made it though the 33 tornadoes in Iowa...okay it can stop now!

[@Jblue92]

We got rocked on Fort Carson.

[@hannahsanders1174]

I used to live in colorado springs but now i live in texas!!🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@VanquishMediaDE]

Hannah sanders I am from Denver but I now live in Florida.

[@greenman2100]

Lived in Colorado Springs for the last two years, and we’re moving to Austin next year. I hate this place with a passion.....

[@bk6271]

Enjoy the heat and traffic there, not to mention the libtards

[@VanquishMediaDE]

bk6271 Colorado springs has bad traffic and libtards, and the roads have allot of potholes.

[@VanquishMediaDE]

Big Bear Cookout The only three state I will live in Are Florida Texas and Colorado.

[@EK14MeV]

You need a Kevlar umbrella.

[@ReedTimmerWx]

That is a great idea!

[@Rainlover1984]

So glad I moved from there after 15 years of icy crap and snow piles and crappy drivers in the Spring and Winter.

[@KittenLovens420]

The shot we just had last week is do bad killing 5 animals at the zoo man.

[@somemore9784]

Hail storm coming better put the car in the garage...oh wait we stay in a block of flats. Oh well new windscreen again.

[@barbaragarden5152]

Hail in the summertime thats intersting?

[@cy8685]

Every single year. Hail season in Colorado is from April through Sept. (the rest of the year is snow season).

[@MrFancyjohnson1]

My daughters car was totaled out, and most of my neighbors

[@thunderstorms2112]

Damn it Colorado! Did you forget your bipolar medication again? Love the state, but sometimes Colorado just can’t decide on what mood it’s on. Lol in all serious note. Rest in pice to the animals we lost at the zoo. Glad everyone else was ok.

[@imds123]

If you move to Colorado you better buy you a beater car..

[@beckyshock3099]

Size + velocity= damage!!!!!

[@pansy7684]

This is why I hate living here.

[@cy8685]

😂😂😂 Colorado is one of the best (and safest) places to live in America.

[@RedRacconKing]

You need a bike helmet

[@ReedTimmerWx]

Hell yes

[@georgeschlaline6057]

God is Pissed

[@joecedars4463]

Get ready to be flooded with roofing crews in 1997 PU trucks.

[@agentknight5186]

That's crazy! getting my vehicle Rhino coated when I move there. lol Gotta keep a hard hat in you car.

[@EastwoodFabrication]

I see golf balls maybe but not softball. still is pretty messed up however

[@user-id8wp3lb9i]

The hail stones at my house were larger than my hand

[@cy8685]

bornyard - What's messed up about it? This is normal for Colorado.

[@XleahrachelleX]

To the comment below, that isnt dramatic. Hundreds of cars were totally totalled and there was softball sized hail. This was a REALLY bad hail storm. I was about 10 miles north and got several dents on my hood from smaller ones like these. 3 animals died at the zoo and people were injured. This wasnt nothing to play with. Im new to Colorado and this was freakin insane!

[@cy8685]

It's obvious you're new to Colorado. Despite all the sensationalism, this is actually pretty typical weather. We get hail storms every year - the hail season here runs from April to Sept (the rest of the year is snow season). There have been far worst storms in the past.

[@tracphonemobile6866]

the safe place for your is in the puddle

[@WaywardWanderer14]

I miss Colorado

[@ravynnwalker2952]

Oh Hailll no! We are about to move there.
