Just a quick storm update. Im in Oconomowoc so I thought i'd give everyone in the Milwaukee area heads up...

Hail is coming down that is larger than golf balls here. Crazy stuff that will mess up a car!

Get your stuff inside now!

Someone just pulled their STi into the underground parking here. Some old lady was there complaining about it.

My sister and I are outside drinkin' a cold one watching the lightstorm in Brookfield. Waiting for the fun stuff to arive. Looks like one cell went to our north and now another is coming right at us! :thumbsup My whole family is like this, if there is really crapy weather, we're all outside watching it come in with smiles on our faces. I mean seriously, it's neat!

[theavenger333]

i did that same thing when a tornado hit us in minnesota! watched till the **** was on top of us, then ran into the basement

[CruxGNZ]

Damn, just hit us. Nothing but marble sized hail.

[T-Bag]

Dad's truck got cheezed...near baseball sized here...lucky i was a couple miles over that had barely marble sized.

[Anakonda69]

hopefully new berlin doesn't get it so bad...i have nowhere to put my truck

[Rocket Power]

Rolling through the zoo area now. marble size
Reached to pick one up and got clocked in the back of the head :rolf

[wikked]

the worst is has passed for the milwaukee metro area... should be just rain for the rest of it.

[98whitegpgt]

[Al]

Hail downtown!!!

I can hear it bouncing off the cars! Very loud! I'll go get one...

[Knyghtmare]

Baseball size on the way into Watertown. Shattered my buddies windshield out.

[chargedformula]

i never pulled my car into the garage that fast! i was too slow though, by the time i pulled the honda out and the firebird in, it was almost over. i got the marble sized ones, so im hoping that it didnt do anything to it.

[Al]

The ones downtown are golf-ball sized.

It scared the crap out of my dog. Then again, he is afraid of everything.

[Slow Joe]

I was in G-Town standing outside watching my car get pelted with marble and golfball sized peices... I didn't see any baseball sized ones though...


Edit: Oh yeah... No damage... :thumbsup

[TransAm12sec]

[awsomeears]

When my Uncle was in the Glass Bidness he would LOVE these crazy storms.

:-)

[Flicktitty]

yeah, we didnt get ANYTHING down here in Delavan, Me and Stowsea were at my shop watching the lightening and then we went to wal-mart we came out and it was raining. so thats all we got. I have a feeling this will be a VERY active severe weather season!

[CruxGNZ]

Just think about the winds whipping around up there to keep those 'rocks' up in the sky to build them up to that size! That's some serious ****! I love it :goof

[97z2801ss]

I got caught in a hail storm last year while hiking in northern Kettle Moraine with my dog and my friend Julie. It was coming down in like a 45 degree angle- the hail started small marble sized- which just stung, but when it got as big as above it just freaking HURT. I had welts and blood blisters on my back and a nice bump on my head- had it gotten ANY bigger I think I would have gotten knocked the hell out. Ended up just putting the backpacks over our heads, I grabbed my poor dog and hovered over him and held him while my arms were getting nailed and we huddled by a tree- there was NOWHERE to go. The whole time I was thinking "the heaviest hail sometimes precedes a tornado" and also realized that there really WAS a tornado siren I thought I heard faintly. When it finally let up there was seriously 3 inches or more of hail on the ground, looked like it had just snowed- got a hell of an adrenaline rush though!

First and last time I'd like to be outside in a hail storm :).

[subliminal1284]

No hail in the kenosha area, If it ever starts im jumping in my car and heading for the nearest overpass. since i dont have a garage

[fireguyrick]

No Hail in South Milwaukee by the airport.

Harley Davidson haha, yea lotta cars got damaged i guess, looking at the damage todat the big one of 4 on the hood cracked the paint it hit so hard. 2 on the roof and a good sized one on the trunk.

[WhiteZCamaro]

I guess it was a good that my car decided to run like sh!t last night!

[UnderPSI]

We had a buch of hail by my house. I had the TA in the garage, but the buick got a bunch of hits. One big one on the roof and a bunch of smaller ones on the sides. Looks like I will have to keep the dog in the house so it won't get killed when I get one. Should be soon keep your fingers crossed.

[GRNDNL]

Hmmm.....Looks like money falling from the sky to me........ :D

I mean which lot?

[indyzmike]

My Subaru got it pretty bad while I was on my way to work. I made it to a gas station just north of Appleton and Lannon in G-town, but it was too late by then. The sound of it hitting the car was nasty. That was some big sh**.

[Slow Joe]

Yeah, we have some damaged cars over here... Did we make the news?? I saw TV 6 here... :rolf

[88camaro]

time to buy a car cheap with some dents, dealership going to have their hail storm damage cars on sale.
