Lived in Colorado almost 15 years. Hailstorms occured with every thunderstorm, without fail. Big 2-3 inch hailstorms happened almost every summer, but it really depended on where you lived. If you lived near the towns of Fountain, Security, or southern Colo Springs, you could bet on your car/home taking damage from at least one monsterous storm. Further north it seemed less common. But there were times we drove out of town so our cars wouldn't be destroyed in a hail bombardment. You learned to check weather reports when you saw the sky darken.
I live in Denver and hail like this is infrequent although we did get some yesterday. And driving out of town seems like doing too much if you're still out in the open hoping it doesn't hail, when you could just stop at a gas station or somewhere else. Places to keep your car safe aren't on every corner but you can find them. Find an apt complex with carports if you have to 😂
Yeah remember 2018 when there were 2 huge storms that killed animals at the zoo and houses were fixed only to have another storm come through and destroy them again

This happened to me, we were outside playing tennis and I noticed a huge cloud coming insanely fast, so we ran back to the car and in like 5 seconds massive rocks were being pelted at the car. It wasn’t as bad as this one, and we managed to find some cover but it was much louder than I expected. I didn’t think the sound would be an issue but after a while it hurts your ears
I got caught skateboarding home trying to beat a derecho that appeared seemingly out of nowhere and had to literally hug a tree to find air to breathe. Was considering smashing in someones front door for safety because I felt like I was about to pass out and die. There were massive hailstones shattering car windows and people looking at me but not waving to help or anything and the sidewalk was flooding over my skateboard and my feet on top of it. I pretty much collapsed as soon as I got inside my own house and it was already dying out but I swear I was wetter than jumping in a swimming pool. This happened in less than 15 minutes and less than 2 mile span north of Rochester NY.

It depends on the car, it's age, it's value, and the cost to repair. For that Corolla, the insurance company/repair shop probably determined the cost of repairing is close to, or exceeds the value, so they total it. For some other cars. they end up being repaired.
@@username8644 I hit a deer and did over $7k in damage to a car valued at $13k (Ford Focus), and was told by the insurance company with Flo as a spokesperson that in order for it to be totaled, it has to be at 90% damaged. It was fixed but never really what it was prior to the damage.
Always ask for a total. If they have a hard time, mention how much it’ll cost from a very premium car restoration place. Never get your car repaired, it’s different and devalued. Always ask for a new car. Once it’s damaged, it’s forever damaged no matter how much you repair it. I’ve always asked to total my cars and gotten it. I get back the full new value + $5-10K extra due to my insurance endorsements.
@@Connection-Lost im pretty sure a poor person would drive around with it, for a good price even with all the dents. how much would it be worth removing all the parts?
That is terrifying! I drove through a thunderstorm here in northern Germany 10 years ago and there was also hail, but most of it quite small grains. Suddenly a loud bang and in the middle of my windshield was a circular hole (no puncture thankfully) and the windshield completely cracked. I was traveling at 70 mph on the highway. I drove down the next exit and had the car towed to the nearest garage, no one believed me when I called and when they saw the windshield they were all surprised and took pictures of it. There were also two big dents on the roof of the car. That is really very rare here in our area. My insurance paid for the damage, but actually asked three times if it really could have been hail and I sent photos to them. Since then I feel very uncomfortable in the car when it hails.
My sister got caught near Norfolk Nebraska some 20 years ago, baseball to softball sized, she was in a 1970's Dodge Ram, she loved that pickup, it was in pristine condition.... until that day. She called home on her cell phone and we couldn't understand a word she was saying, my father thought someone was shooting at her, it sounded like automatic gunfire, albeit entirely out of rhythm. Every window was broken, the dash destroyed, she was under the dash screaming. We lived an hour away, but watching my father head out the door, man on a mission, I just remember it being so sunny and beautiful as I watched him get into his vehicle and go roaring down the road. Thankfully she was okay. The hail had broken the shift lever off of the steering column, what kind of insane power does THAT take? My dad had to use vice grips and he drove her truck home. I was just glad my sister was okay.
So my dad lives in colorado and he had him and his girlfriends cars completely destroyed from this same hail storm. My dad had a piece of shit truck he didnt care about but he really cared about a 92 Camry that he had. It was his stepfathers who just passed away a few months prior. Drove it all the way from Boston to Co. Springs and didnt have a single problem. He actually planned on giving it to my older sister when she got her license. But the car was absolutely demolished from this hailstorm. It and the other 2 cars they had were totaled from the sheer amount of hail that came down in Fountain that day. The storm did so much damaged that it even broke the sealant in his sunroom roof from how much it was warping the metal and the ceiling. This storm was so bad that it took until last year for all the damages done to the house to be repaired, due to the companies in Colorado being so backed up from how many peoples homes were hit. Hail is no joke and I'm glad we dont get it often here in Arkansas.
@@theredmonkey236 How often does it hail there? Is there certain months that are worse? There are places located east of the Rockies all the way up to northern Canada that are shooting galleries for hail. I've just heard hail is more frequent in those areas
ive lived in colorado my whole life. today probably one of the worst rains ive seen in a while. basement flooded, windows flooded, some light fixtures, etc. its crazy how a a storm can produce that much hail and rain.
Here's a physics lesson: If the hail is flying at 40 mph, it hits your car at 40 mph. If the hail is flying at 40 mph and you're driving 60 mph into it, the hail now hits your car at 100 mph.
Nowadays car front glasses are built in a way it doesn't shatter to pieces but it stays "sticked together" thanks to some kind of plastic inside the glass itself. So in this way there are less chances of injury in the case of an accident. Dunno anyway if all cars have this function.
@@AlanWalker-7142 No, the front glass is NOT tempered, there're 2 sheets of glass sticked into a plastic ( laminated glass ) if it was tempered, any small rock would destroy the windshield
This is even more terrifying on a motorcycle. On the front range plains, you can usually see these localized storms coming and run for cover (or run the other way). Once you are in it, ooh, nasty!
Of course, driving into a hailstorm at that speed only increases the damage and impact to you car. Fortunately you had the right mind to stop, unlike other storm chasers.
I was thinking the same thing as the forward speed is adding into the collision force, however their back window smashed out after they stopped. Hiding under a bridge is a must.
Large hail is anything outside's worst nightmare, especially vehicles. It just like falling rocks. I feel sorry for anybody having to experience this exact problem.
we never ever get hail storms in my area. We once got an hail storm that was just like this but the ice rocks were smaller, The rate of it was even WORSE than this one in the video. Hundreds of hail was coming down super fast. It was super foggy, windy and alll was very dark clouds. when it was over, it destroyed all the flowers, some died but yeah. the ground was covered with white hail Whenever you put your bare foot or shoe on just for a few seconds it would freeze your foot. a week or so afterwards. all hail melted. but at the side where 5 big trees were where the dirt floor is covered with leaves and there are narrow walls were no sunlight comes past in. there was Fused hail that didnt melt yet covered by leaves. we've found more but they've all melted
Those hailstorms are scary there. I remember getting stuck in one outside of Fountain. There was huge hail hitting the car and it was so loud. We were traveling from Arizona to visit family in Colorado Springs. I actually thought we might die there. Thankfully we escaped with only minor cracks in the windshield but we were all really scared 😖
I mean those hail stones in this video are the size of golf balls at least. If those hit you in the head they could definitely severely injure you if not kill you
This almost happened to me and my parents, It got cold and started to hail one day and luckily we were turning right on our road and then as we went under a tree it all fell on our car and caused a crack in the glass. We had to replace it a few weeks later because the cold made the crack to big and my parents couldn't see where they were going
They write checks, then raise the insured rates a significant amount until they get their money back. I hit 2 deer in 2020, and my insurance rates went up $300/month for about 19 months, then dropped over $300/month once they got their money back this month. Flo hates writing checks.
@@ochsj1971 fuck I got into one at fault accident in 2019, $3500 for a quarter panel. My rates went up $300/month also but they aint come down yet. Paid that claim off before the end of 2020 insurance companies would fuck their mother for a dime
2017. As a Coloradan, I remember it so vividly! Because I WAS THERE TO WITNESS IT! The commissary where I use to work in Fort Carson, their windows were broken and some of the structure was chipped away. You heard me; CHIPPED. Even the paint was scraped off due to the hail. Place looked like it was hit by a drive-by shooting. And the cars in the parking lot? All damaged. Chips and pieces of the vehicles scattered all over the ground like a battlefield. Luckily for me, I went home BEFORE the warzone started. Scary stuff. 😬
I remember when it hailed so badly in Colorado a couple years ago that the road was literally filled with about 2 inches of hail. Luckily my car didn't get damaged, but it was quite scary to drive through, especially since it was the first time for me driving through hail.
From what I understand and what I’ve seen on radar Colorado gets a ton of supercells. I think that’s what the hail is always from. At least the big stuff. If you ever see a baseball sized one yeah you’d better get out of there it might drop a tornado.
To help anyone who gets stuck in a hail storm like this if you have a suv fold all seats down and crawl to the trunk area your back window is 95% likely not to break...
@@ProjektleiterBroteundBroetchen yeah because they want the roof either replaced or repaired but I’m just saying like in an ideal world it wouldn’t be a big deal but of course the owner would want their car to be perfect and I would too
One of my worst fears: watching my car get destroyed in a hailstorm and not being able to do a thing about it. Not even an EF5 tornado hurdling towards me would make me quiver in my pants like that.
You had slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road, your car may have escaped major hail damage by not adding 60 MPH to the velocity of the small hail.
If you pulled over when you noticed the hail and found shelter or stopped driving the windshield damage probably could have been avoided, driving when it’s hailing makes the damages caused significantly worse
Pretty sure their windows are better and more stronger, these cars were designed so that they ca take even stronger damage, this is why it is actually really difficult to die in those vehicles during the accidents
Reminds me of the some of the hailstorms that hit Western South Dakota, especially around the Black Hills, which are second only to the Front Range corridor in terms of hailstorms per year. It never fails, at least once or twice a year, there'll be golf ball or baseball-sized hail somewhere in the region, and probably at least several more quarter-sized hailstorms.
it must be scary to live in the USA. as if tornadoes and hurricanes were not enough, you are plagued also by hailstorms every year. oh and also earthquakes. thanks goodness I'm safe here on our farm in south america with nothing of this ever happen to us.
I would be PISSED if something like this happened to my car! (If I had one. LOL) I usually have insurance that has a $500 deductible, and I never have had the $500 when somethings gone wrong. :\
@Fat Penguins im not an idiot; I realize how much a windshield is. what I meant was, that I never had the money UP TO $500, to cover whatever was needed that didn't match my $500 deductible.

If the hail is flying at 40 mph and you're driving 60 mph into it, the hail now hits your car at 100 mph.
Sort of. The math doesn't exactly line up like that. Two cards driving head-on each going 50mph is not the same as a 100mph collision.
that hail is coming pretty much straight down dude not head on
@@Ezdine_G8261 I don't think you understand the physics at play here.
was lucky, that the front glass didn't break if it wouldn't have been hurt
Nowadays car front glasses are built in a way it doesn't shatter to pieces but it stays "sticked together" thanks to some kind of plastic inside the glass itself. So in this way there are less chances of injury in the case of an accident. Dunno anyway if all cars have this function.
it broke though
@@ILOVERESISTANCE I've seen this since the 80s with models in junkyards.
@@AlanWalker-7142 No, the front glass is NOT tempered, there're 2 sheets of glass sticked into a plastic ( laminated glass ) if it was tempered, any small rock would destroy the windshield
@@ctrangedemon It got cracked bit it didn't completely shatter into pieces
Replace your windshield with new gorrila glass 6
I reckon gorilla glass wouldn't stand up to hailstones beyond 2 inches

This is even more terrifying on a motorcycle. On the front range plains, you can usually see these localized storms coming and run for cover (or run the other way). Once you are in it, ooh, nasty!
I can imagine driving home after this like Ace Ventura
I take it people have died being out in hail like this!
That would be people who are out in it walking mainly though
I have heard of entire windshield fall in on people while they were driving
Yes, people have died from being hit by hail.
If it dented his car imagine what it'd to do a person going out on a walk in the rain
Yep. I watched a TV show years ago and this biker was killed. He was out in a hail storm trying to protect his bike from the hail. Sad really.
I had a 2004 Astro van that survived 4-5 nasty Montana hail storms. Early 2000 GM paint and bodies were really good.
Hail is like snow that hates you
@Syrian Rebels idk
@*Syrian Rebels* depends on the size and the force of the hail, but you would probably get some pretty nasty bruises
Well snow is lighter but dangerous to driving
Hail is when snow gets angry
Hail though can occur even when its hot. That is why it is not soft like snow.
Of course, driving into a hailstorm at that speed only increases the damage and impact to you car. Fortunately you had the right mind to stop, unlike other storm chasers.
😂😂 your car will still be fucked either way
I was thinking the same thing as the forward speed is adding into the collision force, however their back window smashed out after they stopped. Hiding under a bridge is a must.
“Well there goes my windshield” my guy is so calm
Large hail is anything outside's worst nightmare, especially vehicles. It just like falling rocks. I feel sorry for anybody having to experience this exact problem.
It's like falling rocks, but with no evidence.
we never ever get hail storms in my area. We once got an hail storm that was just like this but the ice rocks were smaller, The rate of it was even WORSE than this one in the video. Hundreds of hail was coming down super fast. It was super foggy, windy and alll was very dark clouds. when it was over, it destroyed all the flowers, some died but yeah. the ground was covered with white hail
Whenever you put your bare foot or shoe on just for a few seconds it would freeze your foot. a week or so afterwards. all hail melted. but at the side where 5 big trees were where the dirt floor is covered with leaves and there are narrow walls were no sunlight comes past in. there was Fused hail that didnt melt yet covered by leaves. we've found more but they've all melted
@@jwalster9412Well if ur driving and have a dash cam you do have evidence.
Those hailstorms are scary there. I remember getting stuck in one outside of Fountain. There was huge hail hitting the car and it was so loud. We were traveling from Arizona to visit family in Colorado Springs. I actually thought we might die there. Thankfully we escaped with only minor cracks in the windshield but we were all really scared 😖
Hail is not going to kill you while sitting in a car.
@@gregoryvierra6114 if a coconut can kill people, it’s not an exaggeration that ice strong enough to break through car windows could also be fatal
@@gregoryvierra6114 Hail can smash through the roof of your house if its going fast and big. It very much so could.
I mean those hail stones in this video are the size of golf balls at least. If those hit you in the head they could definitely severely injure you if not kill you
Honestly this is one of my fears for my car to be damaged by a hail storm
I 've always wanted a Convertible
Rain: Say no more, hold my beer...
Plus I'm glad you're ok
I like how perfect that the side windows is totally fine.
Well it's coming down, not to the side.
As somebody from colorado, i can confirm this happens daily.
Just left the dealership with your brand new car …
Hail: Well Hello There
😂
The sound must be similar to Chuck Norris cracking his knuckles.
Chuck norris memes still a thing in 2021?
@@stonecold293851 _YES_
I love how you keep the wipers on.
This almost happened to me and my parents, It got cold and started to hail one day and luckily we were turning right on our road and then as we went under a tree it all fell on our car and caused a crack in the glass. We had to replace it a few weeks later because the cold made the crack to big and my parents couldn't see where they were going
I feel so bad for you my hope and Parker are to you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Imagine being caught in this storm with a classic car you inherited from your grandfather.
Check the weather before you leave like everyone else in the world.
Had to watch this again to remind me summer is coming !
Dude I would be so incredibly fucking pissed. Like holy crap
No use getting pissed. You can't fight nature
Yea man but that’s still something to get mad over even if it’s just a few seconds than start laughing 😂
@@liamplunkett5100 you'll also get pissed if you just bought your dream car and have that same situation....
Id be pissed because itd probably get all cold and wet and shit, hate being wet and cold
@@Rory695 you must hate getting out of the shower then
Colorado spring storms are unlike anything I've seen and I've lived in Tornado Valley my entire life. If you seen rain, you expect hail.
Tow truck stonks after this 📈📈📈📈
Cant imagine being a supplier of car insurance in this area at the time. Thats a hit and a half right there.
They'll have fine print that covers themselves.
They write checks, then raise the insured rates a significant amount until they get their money back. I hit 2 deer in 2020, and my insurance rates went up $300/month for about 19 months, then dropped over $300/month once they got their money back this month. Flo hates writing checks.
@@ochsj1971 fuck I got into one at fault accident in 2019, $3500 for a quarter panel. My rates went up $300/month also but they aint come down yet. Paid that claim off before the end of 2020 insurance companies would fuck their mother for a dime
That is wild. This is far harsher hail than I've ever experienced in Canada!
Windshield wipers: *I'm the last one standing*
That must be the worst to see your car like that and totally not be able to do anything just watch as it is being destroyed.
I probably feel nothing
If someone just bought a brand new dream car(like Lamborghini or Ferrari) and was driving that day, that would really suck....
It's pretty lit actually. Insurance = new car.
Bro just suffered his car and legit sacrificed his windshield. What a hero
2017.
As a Coloradan, I remember it so vividly! Because I WAS THERE TO WITNESS IT!
The commissary where I use to work in Fort Carson, their windows were broken and some of the structure was chipped away. You heard me; CHIPPED. Even the paint was scraped off due to the hail. Place looked like it was hit by a drive-by shooting. And the cars in the parking lot? All damaged. Chips and pieces of the vehicles scattered all over the ground like a battlefield. Luckily for me, I went home BEFORE the warzone started. Scary stuff. 😬
3 minutes later and Safelite has convoys of repair vans heading towards this strip of highway
Best comment on here
Automotive industry: we design windshields to be industructible
Hail: we beg to differ
ngl that front windshield with cracks looks pretty cool tho-
I remember when it hailed so badly in Colorado a couple years ago that the road was literally filled with about 2 inches of hail. Luckily my car didn't get damaged, but it was quite scary to drive through, especially since it was the first time for me driving through hail.
From what I understand and what I’ve seen on radar Colorado gets a ton of supercells. I think that’s what the hail is always from. At least the big stuff. If you ever see a baseball sized one yeah you’d better get out of there it might drop a tornado.
Imagine still driving at full speed in a hail storm like this guy... Only beginning to slow down once your windshield is completely destroyed.
I hope you had full coverage
Thanks for the vid its for my school projet thx
Bro we are in the same class lmao
@@carpovma1627 nice

It's not totaled, it's just... textured. Adds character.
To help anyone who gets stuck in a hail storm like this if you have a suv fold all seats down and crawl to the trunk area your back window is 95% likely not to break...
That is not totaled. Replace the glass and you’re good. Car still drives perfectly fine
totaled as in insurance would not repair the car as it would cost more to repair it than the car values
@@ProjektleiterBroteundBroetchen yeah because they want the roof either replaced or repaired but I’m just saying like in an ideal world it wouldn’t be a big deal but of course the owner would want their car to be perfect and I would too
@@Akotski-ys9rr yes I get that, I thought you didn't understand why the title says totaled even though the car still drives

Damn that was a mean hailstorm. ⚡️
Why do i feel like this would be strangely fun
In australia this happens a lot, to the point where people will try to scam insurance by parking there car outside before a hail storm lol
The time to upgrade to bulletproof has come.
If your car is eight thousand times weak your shoe, your car's so weak, you're in the middle of a hailstorm and a storm.Dude it's like two
It could be a great idea bring a thick mantle in the back. And immediately stop the car and cover it
I think that too dangerous to do.
Ofcourse the car is safe then but what about your head ?
You clearly don't have a brain lmao wtf
See what happens when hail can do to your car?
One of my worst fears: watching my car get destroyed in a hailstorm and not being able to do a thing about it. Not even an EF5 tornado hurdling towards me would make me quiver in my pants like that.
i guess have a big tarp in case in the trunk to wrap over the car to quickly save some damages? if you can't find any place to hide quick enough
You had slowed down and pulled over to the side of the road, your car may have escaped major hail damage by not adding 60 MPH to the velocity of the small hail.
They did not add 60mph. The hail fell from above, not directly in front.
imagine buying Bugatti Chiron that day and this happens to the car ☠️
People across the world would hear me screaming if that happened.
For some reason I found it completely hilarious he used the wipers after the windshield has been completely shattered 😂
Imagine if you had a sunroof or a panoramic roof.

If you pulled over when you noticed the hail and found shelter or stopped driving the windshield damage probably could have been avoided, driving when it’s hailing makes the damages caused significantly worse
Ok, maybe I DONT need the optional sunroof.
Imagine driving your lambo or ferrari into dis 😬
Pretty sure their windows are better and more stronger, these cars were designed so that they ca take even stronger damage, this is why it is actually really difficult to die in those vehicles during the accidents
Whoever invented safety glass deserves a 1,000% raise.

I'm really enjoyed !!

What xD
Reminds me of the some of the hailstorms that hit Western South Dakota, especially around the Black Hills, which are second only to the Front Range corridor in terms of hailstorms per year. It never fails, at least once or twice a year, there'll be golf ball or baseball-sized hail somewhere in the region, and probably at least several more quarter-sized hailstorms.
it must be scary to live in the USA. as if tornadoes and hurricanes were not enough, you are plagued also by hailstorms every year. oh and also earthquakes. thanks goodness I'm safe here on our farm in south america with nothing of this ever happen to us.
Better go change a new car, the car is unrepairable, every panel been dented.
I know this video was three years ago...
actually 5*
Imagine owning the most rare car cruising on the freeway and this happens.
You'd probably check the weather before taking out of your garage if you owned a rare car.
Not that it's that rare, but the person in front of them at the beginning was in a Corvette
Why would you drive in a hail storm?.... Stay home.
if you drive in hail you have no room to act shocked your car got destroyed
エグい.......
自然の力怖い。修理費怖い.......
Wtf
I would be PISSED if something like this happened to my car! (If I had one. LOL) I usually have insurance that has a $500 deductible, and I never have had the $500 when somethings gone wrong. :\
Don't worry, this is usually not covered by your insurance anyway unless you have the hail damage option, which is kind of absurd to get, really.
@Fat Penguins huh costs me 75 quid for a brand new windscreen under my insurance. Fits in couple hours as well
Fix your priorities
@@albertchavez72 how about you shove it? I'll bet there's plenty of priorities you ain't fixed that are willy nilly all over the place.
@Fat Penguins im not an idiot; I realize how much a windshield is. what I meant was, that I never had the money UP TO $500, to cover whatever was needed that didn't match my $500 deductible.
