[@jakethebengal1776]

That is so unfortunate. We live in West Texas and have experienced many hail storms through the years. Although grapefruit size hail is unlikely, it isn't uncommon here. When I was a youngster not yet 9, in the middle of the night, my dad got me and my sister out of bed and grabbed us both, carried us through the back yard and into our "cellar". The next morning when we emerged out of our storm shelter, our entire yard was covered with white baseball and softball size hail leaving holes in the roof of our home. What a disaster.

I was in a storm that had grapefruit sized hail once near Minco Oklahoma. I ended up driving straight inside a tornado trying to escape it. It sounds unbelievable but it's true. It was an f2 maybe and was about a hundred yards wide and slow moving. I had time to turn my car around inside it to face the wind from the back wall of the tornado so it wouldn't roll my car. It was spinning all around me and very little rain or debris inside it.

[@michaelnaretto3409]

To get stones that large there needs to be an insane updraft in that thunderstorm...

[@jilljones3664]

They're so calm, even when he sees what it did to his car! Being in a hailstorm is the most helpless feeling in the world. MAYBE you can save your car when the first few hailstones fall but you just have to sit there and watch it do major damage to your house. You don't know how long it's going to last or if the hail is going to get even bigger. That's one problem. Your second problem is that a storm with a powerful enough updraft to produce large hail will probably produce a tornado so you're also sitting there wondering if a tornado is going to hit in the next minute or two.

[@mxrider8393]

That's very true. I'm guessing that you too have experienced something like this? Fortunately I knew that there wouldn't be any tornado from this but I am always blown away to think of the updraft capable of holding up hail this big!

[@akbychoice]

Jill Jones it starts out as smaller pieces and they collect together forming larger and larger chunks, it isn't pulled up into the sky as ice chucks. Unless a tornado has done it.

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

I have to disagree. Hail storms fall somewhere in the middle on the helpless scale for natural events. Try a massive earthquake. Now THAT will have you feeling helpless in a matter of a few seconds. All you can think about is how much worse it will get and will it ever stop! Will my house come down around me, will the roof fall on my head, will I be thrown into the air and break my neck, is the earth going to open up and swallow me whole...it is a truly helpless, terrifying, awesome experience to say the least. I'm talking about the really big earthquakes...not the average shakers.

[@siskokidd]

Dramatic as can be!

[@michaelhertzog7093]

Usually when you have a massive amount of lightening, it's an indicator that there is hail in the storm because the hail bouncing around and colliding with other hailstones and rain creates the electric charge needed for lightening production; also usually means that the instability and hence updraft is fairly strong which is what you want for hail production.

[@stephensnell5707]

Hailstones don't create lightning The air molecules rubbing together creates the lightning

[@sweettrubble4635]
