Re: Severe Hailstorm in South Africa
I remember this one time I went for a surf in Durban (close to 'maritzburg) when I was struck by this large hailstone on my thumb splitting my skin and causing it to bleed. At first I thought someone had thrown a rock at me because no other hailstones had landed yet believe it or not, but in the next couple of seconds I was pelted big time. I was out in the open with no cover other than my surfboard which I flipped over and hid under. The hail didn't last for long fortunately, but I was pretty bummed-out that the deck of my surfboard was dinged and hail-damaged to the max. The area gets a lot of humidity which plays a mayor role in the development of hail. |

Hahaha, go to Oklahoma sometime... Couple days ago got 6" of hail... I've been hit on the side of the head by slightly larger than golf ball sized hail before... Left a welt for 4 days...
