In OK in 1988 during a tornado and hail storm, we had softball size hail (I grabbed one off the front porch and put in freezer). It broke through our skylights (glass flying everywhere) through the metal air conditioning system outside, ripped the liner out of our inground pool and destroyed cars in car lots. It was the craziest storm I’ve been in.
I'm so glad I found your channel a few weeks ago, I really enjoy your videos!
meh too

As a new subscriber from Calgary, thank you for talking about the June 13 event. Luckily I only got very heavy rain with occasional pea sized hail but you still see the scars of hail dents when you enter the NE. This same storm went on to produce 2 weak tornadoes in southern Alberta as well. All in all, a very destructive yet beautiful storm, and is what triggered my interest in weather, which lead me to you.
I was surprised to learn how destructive the event was!
This event entirely ruined the Calgary car rental industry with dents, you couldn't get a rental car *a whole year after* because of this event
@@weatherboxstudios some houses in the NE had entire faces of siding ripped down by the hail it was so bad, entire sides of some houses had every the window smashed too. I was surprised as in the NW only 10 mins away we had nothing but a few pea sized stones as mentioned.
funny i live in Calgary. i saw the title and thought "oh we have to be in this one" and this is the top comment
Yet another Calgarian here, the house I lved in in 2020 was battered pretty heavily, though fortunately no windows broken. We did end up with a flooded basement though. And again in 2021, after which we moved out. Yeah, the hailstorms here are incredible, as are the mesocyclones and supercells. One thing you can count on in june/july/august are amazing storms to watch
In the early '80s a storm hit Bowers Beach Delaware that produced a strong easterly wind, driving golfball-sized hail onto houses, buildings, vehicles and any exposed living creatures.
My grandparents home had all of the vinyl siding on the west-facing side completely smashed, along with all of the windows on that side. All of their vehicles ;looked like someone used a ball-peen hammer on the body, with every surface divoted from hail impacts.
One of their neighbors, caught out on his tractor during the storm, suffered bruises and head-injuries while trying to get back into the barn. He spent a few day in the hospital.
Hailstorms are no joke
Another good Weatherbox Wednesday! Great video again, Steve.
Thanks Matt!
love your video!
The reason the great plains and Midwest has such giant hail is because you have high lapse rates over the Rockies and those high lapse rate spills into the great plains and Midwest as high mid level lapse rates. And then when you have a storm system coming through and a cat breaks the convection can use those very steep mid-level lapse rates that spill over from the Rockies and allow for very large hail formation.
Your videos just get better great work
Thank you!
Ive lived in Red Deer AB for 8 years now, and we get TONS of hail.
Once it hailed in Chattanooga, TN the same day there was freezing rain. There was freezing rain in the morning and in the evening it was about 37 degrees and it started thunderstorming and a lot of small hail fell. I guess it did not take much of an updraft to lift the water droplets to freezing levels because it was so cold. Everyone else thought it was just big sleet but I knew better.
Do you remember what year that was? I think I remember hearing about that but I wasn't in the state at the time. I was in Illinois but live in Knoxville.
@@Vic_T_234 2019 I’m pretty sure
Congrats on 6k subs! This channel is absolutely fantastic and breaks things down so simply. Look forward to more content!
Hey Steve great stuff. Keep the good work up. We look forward to weatherbox Wednesdays every week
Love the video! Can't wait for your next upload, always find them so fasincating
The hailstorm that hit Denver was no joke. All of my coworkers vehicles were destroyed. Ironically I was suppose to drive back home to Missouri that day, but I was homesick so I left right after getting off work that Saturday before. One of my coworkers sent me a clip of the hail falling telling me what I had missed. I was so lucky as our job was in Golden which was one of the hardest hit areas.
I got lucky prior to that when I still living in Saint Louis when those two back to back hailstorms hit. I was on the southwest side of town and the storms hit in the area where I lived. My sister called me frantic because she knew that I was getting off work right when the storms hit to ask if I was ok. I said yes, just got caught in some heavy rain. By the time I got back to the northern part of Saint Louis county you could see all of the damage.
So happy I found this channel! Great video!
I remember when I was about 13-14 I was out in a cow pasture behind our house with a few neighbors. All of a sudden the sky got SUPER dark out of nowhere and it started hailing softball sized hail. We ran under the nearest tree because the houses were hundred of yards away. For about 5 minutes we huddled together while limbs were getting ripped off trees around us. It ended up killing 2 cows in the pasture we were in. It broke every car window within about 5 miles of us. We got lucky that day. That was over 20 years ago and I still think about it every time the sky gets dark. I’ve lived through probably 50 tornados, but hail scares me even more.
Great work Weatherbox, a fascinating watch for sure.
I love this channel, can't wait for the next video! Well done!
Another banger. These videos are all hits, no misses.
Very underrated channel. Your explanation and video quality are excellent
Thanks for the vid! Keep er coming
This is neat! Great presentation. Greetings from Medina, Ohio. Ps love the baseball enalogy..
Literally just hailed on my house an hour before watching this video in mid Minnesota. Golf ball sized, usually few times a year.
Funny how this was uploaded just a few hours before we got hail here in Minneapolis
Keep up the great work! Love your videos
What a fantastic explanation of hail! Thank you so much!!❤
I can't believe this channel has so few subs, hidden gem! It'll blow up soon!
I love this channel I found this channel by chance on my recommended page
I live in Calgary and we get some of the craziest hailstorms in the entire world. Hall season about to start too!!
Pretty close to the great planes.. we get weather from north of you in minnesotas winter
Calgary gang! The structure on the storms on Sunday were pretty good eh?
Hopefully it's only small hail this year!
Colorado is crazy for hail. I grew up in the PNW and when I moved here I was so confused why freezing balls were pelting us from the sky lol
A fantastic and entertaining overview of hail!
Ever since you replied to me I've been watching alot of your videos
Idk how i found your videos but they’re quite interesting and easy for somebody to understand
I love severe weather, but I live near the Utah Idaho border and we don’t see a lot. Only strong winds in thunderstorms, every other year we get large hail in a storm though.
Keep up the great work my fellow Ohioan!
Imagine the wind velocity necessary to lift baseball size hailstones. Imagine the Goose egg you'd have getting hit in the head by a baseball size hailstone. Insane.
Awesome videos sir, great editing
Love your videos 💗
Brooooooo !!
Your vids are fire!!!
Did you see that tornado outbreak last week?
You are very smart. keep it up man
love your videos
Great work, Steve
Thanks James!
In 1977 a Southern Airways DC-9 got taken down by hail over Georgia.
An other well done video. I give it a B- though. I was hoping to see an overhead view of the hail damage area in preceding and in relation to, what I hear from storm chasers, the tornado. Great history work though at the end!
Something weird about Tulsa in particular. In the 32 years I have lived here the largest hail I have ever seen was between quarter and golfball sized. I have seen lots of nickel and dime sized hail but never golf ball or larger.
“That’s exactly what it is, minus the glue and the child” Lmaooooo
I remember that Day on April 10th of 2001 I was 4 it was my first experience of extreme weather.
Make a tornado series about tornadoes like Washington Moore El Reno Joplin like a short Documentary
You are one of my Favorite
"Carly Anna WX" makes some nice tornado documentaries.
Your videos are super well made. I look forward to seeing the channel grow!
Thank you!
@@weatherboxstudios wya
i am inlove with your videoss!!
I had hail before when an tornado formed luckily everyone was safe.
I had hail twice the first rime it was small, the second time it grew an little big-
The tornado formed near me but nobody gotten hurt nor anything didn't got damage
Welp continue making videos! Bye bye
Oh and hail is pretty dangerous it can break alot of stuff luckily nothing didn't broke like windows
Stay safe everyoneee
I love hail. I always have-- it's exciting. Sometimes when I would stormchase I would go out of my way to find large hail.
We did get hail in Florida once! We were in the garage and it only lasted only about 30 seconds, but we heard it hit the roof and we saw it in the grass the moment it ended. It was about quarter sized, not that big. Like a minute after it happened the warning went off and we were all laughing “NOW You tell us!!”
We had Softball sized hail in Ste Genevieve county missouri
I’m coming to Ohio next year for college, we should definitely chase together! amazing videos!
One year only time I've seen hail that big here in Tennessee was baseball sized hail. Id be scared of softball sized hail😬😬😬
Ah yes. Hail. I remember in I believe 2008, we had it start hailing. A while before it, my dad promised my sister that he'd grab her some hail. So when it started hailing, he just went outside and grabbed some hail. And in relatively recent news, we had a tornado warning and over by our town's chilis there was hail but we didn't get any of it XD
I have a video recommendation you should make a video explaining the 2013 elReno tornado idk if u already have done a video but you should
More videos please!!!
Have you ever done a piece on the best tornado footage? Maybe a top 10
Highlight of my week
You're the highlight of my week
I think you should have mentioned the lapse rate because it is by far too me the most important factor for hail to form when you have instability
The largest hail I've ever seen irl was like 1 cm big in NC it turned into slush really quickly
It’s not uncommon in the West either! So much hail damage here in Denver, Colorado.
We get hail once or twice a year over here in the Pacific Northwest.
Hail in Ohio. . .
Clippy: do you mean graupel?
Yeah, we have small hail.
Thank you @weatherbox for another great production.
These vids are great! Ohio pride
I’ve only seen hail twice, and also another time where it was too dark to see it but I could still hear it. The largest I’ve seen is a hailstone about the size of a quarter. This was from a storm where it hailed for an hour straight!
Something else to note is where I’m from somewhere where it does not hail often
I’ve been through softball sized hail, trust me it’s not fun, expect a lot of roof damage, broken windows, totaled cars and ruined yards
Yooo what application are you using to get the overhead map from 1982?
I almost never get hail. For some reason it only happens once per year at best (except for may 2022 where I got hail on 3 separate occasions)
Oh, Hail. Of course we did!
This channel is the best consistent reminder of why I want to avoid any state between Nevada and Pennsylvania
how’s everythiing going?. like- great - weatherbox!
We had a lil tornado blow though my town last year but it wasn't shit compared to the hail it put out😭 that was the first and hopefully only time I saw hail the size of tennis balls omg
Yeah mother nature misses the winter so she tries to bring it back during spring.
Happy to see a fellow Ohioan weather enthusiast, love your videos!
Thank you!
Of course :3
Its weird how hail is shaped sometimes, some look like the shape of a juinor mint.
Giant hail may rip the shingles off the roof in the Midwest, but in the Central Plains, giant hail rips off the shingles and siding, punches through the sheathing, destroys the air conditioners, and generally decimates anything outdoors.
I wouldn’t want to get hit in the head with one of those giant spiky ones
You should make a video about the tornado alley and how it’s expanding rapidly over the last year and a half. In 2009 the alley only included 5 states. If you search up a map as of now, it’s so different it’s honestly terrifying. States like Kentucky and Tennessee and even Indiana are use in it now. It’s a huge issue that almost nobody knows about. You’ve got to make a video about that.
This is not technically true; “Dixie Alley” has been a term in use since the early 1970s. It just hasn’t been talked about as much, until recent years (especially after the 2011 Super Outbreak), so it only seems like it is expanding when in reality the Southeastern US has been a hotbed for tornadic activity for many, many decades.
Dixie alley
If you look at a tornado alley map from 2023 and then look at one from 2009 for example you will see the difference
do the Eli Manitoba and Katie Wynnewood Oklahoma tornadoes on google earth.that was an extreme hail!
I will confidently state that 50% of the autos from I-25 east in Colorado, have hail damage.
Don't give Cedar Point any ideas with mentioning an "updraft rollercoaster".
i had hail go through my window like a week ago.
I'm gonna try and see if I can get someone go to the jonesboro tornado back in 2020. I don't know if it'll work but it would be amazing if someone could. Because that thing was a beast. It went from not existing to a big ol ef3 in a minute or so. I don't know many people who make good videos on stuff that might notice a comment so this was my first choice. Nobody has gone over this storm at all and it didn't get as much attention as it seems it would've. And I love some tornado stuff from arkansas because we get awful weather here and don't get the biggest storms
This is one hail of a good video! I’m sorry. I’ll see myself out
Can hurricanes spin anticyclonic?
More recently just past couple of days we have had hail daily 😂 past 3 days at least
I have the worst weather obsession ever especially with the great plains
Just had hail in TX a few weeks ago! It was cool, but TERRIFYING at the speed and size they were coming!
death spike hail stones 0.0
Coming for the world's own to grave
Where you at weather box?
Probably on a break from youtube.
softball sized hail is scarier than a basketball sized crap
Cape=cake? 🧐

You’re overdue for a video what gives?! 🧐
In the mountains this week! Mentioned it in last video / community post. I'll be back sometime next week with tornado outbreak analysis
@@weatherboxstudios cool, would love to see some pics while you're there if you can :)
