Seriously! What the fuck! That looks like god is having fun with a machine gun!

I don't want to know what anything not made from at least a foot of ferroconcrete looks like after a pounding like that.

Yup, this happened just a few days after our recent tornado outbreak.

Oklahoma weather is... interesting...

DG, you mean to say you've never been in a hailstorm?

I'm pretty sure they have hailstorms in Germany.

To be fair, the hailstones were the size of grapefruits in OKC (though by the time the storm reached here, they were merely dime-sized).

We get storms. We get hail. We, sometimes, get both at the same time.
But, to put things into perspective, I've never seen hail in this part of Germany that wouldn't have bounced harmlessly off an umbrella.

Also, our distant ancestors were smart enough to settle in a corner of the world where they could go around inventing roofs and bandages without being in the constant danger of being brained by the weather while having just enough adverse weather to drive them to such inventions, something which allowed them to later go forth to lands where the natives were in constant danger of being brained by the weather, and murder them.
