Christ, what do you even do if you’re stuck outside in that without any cover? Just curl up in the fetal position, cover your head, and hope you don’t get beaten to death by the cold hard vengeance of Mother Nature?

I haven’t lived there in a long time but before I moved my aunts neighborhood got hit with softball size hail that comes through your attic, the decking, and into your living room. They sounded the tornado sirens because you basically need to take the same precautions.

It helps that hail like that is preceded by nightmare hell storms that will send people into cover in advance

Dustcat posted:if there's nothing to go under, you hug a tree or a building I was always taught for any sort of storm like that a tree is the worst because lightening that will probably happen during. Laying curled up on the ground protecting your head would be best if you can't make it in a building.

The odds of getting struck by lightning are so much lower than getting your spine and organs and butt and hands and skull brutalized by MLB fastballs that I would absolutely cower under a tree if it offered any protection at all

Any tree you see has been unaffected by hundreds or thousands of huge thunderstorms, it's about rolling the dice and playing the odds baby

it's a common misconception that the rubber tires of a car protect you from softball-size hail. actually, the metal frame of the car forms a Faraday cage, safely conducting the hail around you
