The second largest hail storm in El Paso County History rolled through the south end of Colorado Springs today. This storm destroyed cars, property and even killed a few animals at the Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo. Here are some of the pictures from today’s wicked storms.
Some of the hail was this big but most of it was golf ball to Apple size. The picture below is NOT snow, this is hail and it’s the middle of the summer here. It looks like a cold day in December though.
Can you imagine sitting inside your car on the highway (hundreds of cars were pulled over) and watching hail come through the windshield and right into you lap??? Crazy!
Contractors and auto body shops were already busy with a storm that rolled through here about 5 weeks ago.....now this.
Colorado weather is unpredictable and sometimes very dangerous no matter what season it is.

Holy crap!!! That is some serious freaking damage. I have heard of big hail storms but have never seen that. It certainly provides a lot of work for contractors but what a huge pain in the ass for people. I'm guessing hail insurance is needed there.

That is ridiculous. Aren't you involved with a roofing company? You can use your drone to show people they have damage and get the job.

That is so sad news, At least eight people were taken to hospitals with hail-related injuries. The back window of a car is broken in the Broadmoor area of Colorado Springs, Colo., after a hailstorm with stones the size of baseballs hit the area. That is so bad news for every human.

Legend has it that it was an extremely hot day in July, about 105, and the Cubs were in last place. Ernie Banks entered the clubhouse to a downtrodden cast of players. He looked around and said, “It’s a beautiful day – Let’s play two.”
Those Immortal Words should Cheer Up anyone who Took a Baseball Sized Ice Cube through their Windshield.........

My only visit to Colorado was in September.
Beautiful, I thought at the time, but I would not want to be here in winter. Little did I know that I wasn't even safe in autumn.

wow! I am really sorry to hear this. I have been away from Steemit (taking a break) It literally too hot here (Canada) what an irony! We expect 38C% (100.4F) in a few days. Here I am saying the heat is unbearable and then I see this! I hope you are safe. Keep safe.

What in the world is going on over there? Is this normal for August? Looks like it would be dangerous to go outside!
