GORILLA HAIL episode of the TOP 2020 storm chases series! April 10, 2020

This episode features the infamous gorilla hail event in the Pecos Valley of Southwest Texas on April 10, 2020, when the Dominator Fore was blown apart by prolific baseball size hail. The windows were shattered, sunroof caved in and side mirrors obliterated by the destructive hail core. This was also some of the most insane hail ever intercepted by my storm chasing dog Gizmo. This episode is part of the TOP storm chases of 2020 series I will be releasing as we head toward storm season!

Consistently the best videos of storms, both from content and style perspectives. I’d have been cowering in the backseat shielding my little dog while repeatedly yelling the “F” word at the top of my lungs. Which is why I let Reed get that footage, while my big butt remains firmly planted at home in a comfortable chair, 😂.
