Hail Yeah

Man, I love to chase storms. I never considered myself to be one of those types who speeds toward something that can harm me, but I sure enjoyed it yesterday during the storm. Lissa Guyton and I were sent out to make friends with Mother Nature and we definitely came across some nasty stuff. We drove through super hard rain. You know, the rain that makes you use the highest setting on your windshield wipers even though it's useless. We also drove right through the heart of the hail storm. I pulled over and jumped out to get my camera as Lissa was yelling "Does it hurt? Does it hurt? It seems like that would hurt!" "Not too bad," I said. "It's just like someone's dumping marbles on your head." Anywho, here's a picture of a "piece" of hail. I didn't get a lot of video because the tornado sirens went off while I was out there and that meant we had to go find a funnel cloud. Didn't find one though.
