Golf Ball Sized Hail - Louisville, Colorado - June 18th, 2018
The sky turned green as the hail started to fall on Louisville last night. Lightning boomed and the rain fell hard just before the hail started falling. I've never seen hail this big... EVER!
Unfortunately, we don't have a garage, so all I could do was film as my poor vehicles became pitted by the hail.
At some point, I ran out briefly to make a poor attempt at throwing a blanket over the windshield of the Tacoma, but I got pelted quite hard in the head by some large hail and did not make any further attempts. I have not yet inspected my roof, but I'd assume it took a beating as well.
My poor truck's hood and roof now looks like the surface of the moon.
I will never in my life understand how hail can form that is both this large, and this dense.
Most of the hail was about the size of a quarter, but some was much larger, golf ball sized or bigger.
This rainbow showed up as the storm departed. I hope the pot of gold is at the insurance office, as I'm sure they will need it to cover the damages across our entire town.
