Out Of This World Hailstorm In Roswell, NM

A vicious severe warned supercell produced monster hail up to 3" diameter and bigger in Roswell, NM on May 28th, 2021. There was a beautiful sunset sky on the backside of the storm.

Unfortunately, there is no where to hide. Best to just pull over and wait it out, because driving in a hailstorm will just cause more damage.

[@koshnaranek2317]

It amazes me that these people just cruising thru it like la la la have no idea the physics involved.

[@user-vp1sc7tt4m]

Carry a few of those heavy sleep blankets with you to throw over your car after you pull over. That should help. I had a friend in NJ during the mid 70's driving a 67 Chevy convertible of some sort that got caught in a hail storm of some note. I+ inch hail pummeling the convertible top tore it to pieces and everyone in the car had bruises from the wicked hail. All survived including the car with minimal damage. The convertible top was toast and the windshield and sheet metal was not broken or dented at all. I think it may have been a bit stronger back then.

[@michaelveis6498]

Windshield repair shops are probably getting lots of business after hailstorms. Keeping their employees busy. That's called job security.

[@20PINKluvr]

In AZ especially phoenix insurance is required to cover cracked windshields. Cause of gravel lining roads

[@lavapix]

Being a storm chaser you'll appreciate this story. I was traveling west on I-80 in far western NE when I saw a huge storm coming from the west. Just before the huge hail started a tornado could be seen heading right at us so we pulled over under a small overpass for protection and climbed up under the bridge. Before we knew it the sky was black and as many cars as could fit were also parked under there or just left out on the road. The tornado went directly over the overpass as we hung onto the steel girders. It was deafening. There were at least 20 of us up under there. It ended as quickly as it started and after it passed there were 8"s of hail covering everything in sight. Cars and trucks flipped over everywhere. Trying to drive in the deep hail was like driving on marbles. I had a 79 Mustang. The WY border was only 2 miles or so up the road and everyone was pulling over at the first exit recounting the entire experience. It was 1989 so no dashcams etc... I was on my way to AK from PA. The one rare time I had no film in my camera.

@@briane173 I'm in Klamath falls Or, it was 94 here yesterday, it's so dry I was hosing down some lawn in the middle of the afternoon, it's a spot I reseeded and need to keep it wet. A bat flew down out of a tree and landed on the ground where I just sprayed, it crawled around in the grass licking the water off the blades of grass, I stood over it giving it shade while it crawled around for a good 5 minutes licking up water, you know it's dry when a bat will come out in the middle of the day to get a drink water. It shocked me to see a nocturnal animal come out in the day, just to get a drink of water, but they've not turned on the irrigation water, all the canals are dry, and I've not seen a mosquito one. I figured they're might not be enough food with water content in them for the bats to hydrate themselves.

True story, a warning came on the radio of large hail and my van was only 6 months old. Nowhere to protect it from damage so I got two-bed comforters place over the entire van and secured them so they would not get blown off. The hail came and it caused damage to my neighbor's vehicles but not mine. Those neighbors also laughed at me while I was covering my van too.

My son’s car was hit with a significant hailstorm in Nebraska and even though a lot of the hail damage could be reversed, many of the dents could not be easily repaired - like the dents along places where the sheetmetal bends from one angle to another. Hail is no joke. It also ruins many roofs of homes. My wood roof had to be replaced in a hailstorm in Kansas City. It was about $10,000 to replace in the mid-90’s.

Daniel Shaw, the Australian who has often chased and photographed storms (and been a First Responder when needed) during US tornado seasons before the pandemic, attached a strong metal screen to the roof of his vehicle as a hail and debris guard, extending out from the roof in front to give some shielding to the windshield. In some of his videos you can see huge hailstones getting shredded by this screen. I think he has a way to deploy it to protect a larger area, but I’m not sure about that. All his windows except the front one are reinforced and super-strong. Imagine how intense the updrafts must be to keep something that big airborne and accreting. And imagine the animals out in that lethal hailstorm. The side-lit images of the storm’s structure, for example at 6:03, are amazing. Like the underside of a glowing cosmic mushroom. Wild.

Lots of cosmic rays causing much cloud nucleation along with getting hammered by CME's.

About 30 years ago, there was some massive hail storm in the Midwest. I lived in northern Utah then. I was driving to a hair appt. and passed a car dealership. Right in front they had several cars that had tennis ball sized dents all over the bodies. They were trying to sell them. After all, in all other sense they were new, working cars. I have no idea if any were sold. Likely not, but it was interesting to see them.

I am in Roswell, but fortunately didn’t get that hail at my house! Crazy storms all week here. I guess they aren’t done yet either!

If you can’t hide from it stop driving in it. That was a lot of damage. Good footage though.

[@AaronJayjack]

I was trying to document it!

It's a good thing he doesn't document house fires or tidal waves.

Did that in a delivery van once. Turned the van so the windshield was AWAY from the wind direction, pulled over, and moved myself to the middle of the van in case the glass broke. Sound like someone was dropping planeloads of baseballs. Turned out OK.

The cheapest piece of glass to destroy in a vehicle is the windshield. And they wont shatter; they hold together. The side windows are expensive and break into many small pieces then let water infiltrate the vehicle. I always stick the windshield into wind/hail.

Oh man I'm sorry. But I'm also so happy I went through Artesia to get home. I missed this storm 💯. But I kept my eye on the radar all day Sunday while in Carlsbad at the blazano winery.
