Igor,
The rule is never look up during a hailstorm. 😉

If you drink, don't drive. Don't even putt.

Nop, an angle was so sharp. Tried saving some tomato plants. But no worries, I'm so proud to have the SUCH experience after 49 years of my life!

It's rare to hear a positive comment after such a weather experience.

Igor,
hope your eye gets better.
We had huge hail like that in Oklahoma last week (Thursday). My car looks like someone hit it with a hammer over and over. 😯

Erik, unfortunately I can't watching Picasa Web (have no idea why...). I believe it was hardier than ours... Look at what's happened in a gorge just 30 minute driving from my house: http://www.drive2.ru/users/alex-shooter/blog/288230376151967353/

Igor, wow, those downed trees were big-diameter trunks.
What a shame all that damage.
Thankfully it missed your place.

Yep! 'Cos it has been happened at the elevation between 1700 and 2200 m above sea level a reason why it was so disgusting is impact of a cold air starting goes down the gorge and of a hot air comes from the desert. My place is situated on a hilly plain at elevation 1000 m. There was no a big differences between surrounding temperature and the front temperature. By the way I'm not a meteorologist so I might be wrong in my guess. An average height of the Picea Semenovii trees is 15-20 m. More than 5 000 trees collapsed across a very small area.

Sounds almost like a micro-burst (recently explained on the weather channel 😆 ).
