    All you Texas guys ok? I saw some crazy tornado videos on the news this morning, and they were saying softball sized hail! I can't even imagine ice chunks the size of softballs falling out of the sky!

    Picture looks more like baseball size. Still pretty significant. Interesting thing, now that Doppler radar is all over the country the NWS has been able to put together comprehensive nationwide data about tornadoes and it turns out "Tornado Alley" is a myth: http://www.weather.com/video/busting-the-tornado-alley-myth-36398

    We had one here in Maine a few years back. Probably nothing for a lot of you guys but it scared me pretty good!

    Always thought baseball size hail was bullshit until now and seeing it for myself, saved one before it melted.
