    As a kid, the family rode out a hail storm like that in the Badlands in a 1977 Cadillac Eldorado 2-door. Pulverized the car, but we were safe inside. Don't recall what happened to the motorcyclist next to us. Dangerous stuff!!

    I haven't check for damage as the sun is already down. I did make sure no windshields were shattered, though.

    My grandmother had some serious hail not far from Backwoods Savage's sons house a little over a year ago. It took out her roof, both house and out buildings, broke most of the windows, and totaled both cars.

    Wow Adam, that is scary for sure. Hope it didn't turn ugly for anyone out there.
