WOW that's a nice Hook!
I think attempting to drive with Softball sized hail following wasn't smart =P At least you put Safety into action with pillows to cover in case glass shattered.
Reed get clocked by one there? Any pictures of the car afterwards?
I've watched that video so many times... its awesome!
Looks like that storm died not long after this was posted though... dang!
Oh my God! This video is so cool, are there pics of the damage afterwards? Please post them :-)
Is there any vehicles available which have stronge windshields and glass on the sides? That has to be the most worrysome part of storm chasing, LARGE hail stones. How many times in a season do you all have to replace the windows? Also, I guess the body gets beat up but can take it.
Even though that was an older video.....That looked painful and Very expensive......ouch
Yeah, I know that we have to replace the windshield atleast once a year, Reed does as well! Our car got totaled this year, but its not near as jacked up as Reeds brand new Tahoe. His has major hail damage!
We're going with bullet-proof windows for next year!!
bullet proof windows?...thats like wearing a visor on your hockey helmut...wuss!!! lmao...jk. hotter than an old woman at a hot flash convention...sheesh 92 f is to hot for canada eh!
A little Lexan goes a long way.......Reed when and where did you have the 'window busting" party?
dose'nt the TIV have bullit proof windows?
So .. who won ?? :)
Am I the only one that saw baseballs in season as the subtitle. Gets me laughing every time
I have never seen a thunderstorm watch area as big as this! As of 5:20 EST almost the entire east coast is under a severe thunderstorm watch!
