Mar 2012

There was a hailstorm, and a pretty big one, apparently. But hail didn't fall a meter deep. It might have drifted up somewhere, carried by runoff, but that's not how much hail fell. It looks like maybe three or four inches.

If you make a mistake, there's nothing wrong with that. Deleting your post, rather than editing it, and then getting all passive-aggressive about this "if CNN..." stuff just doesn't work.

A hailstorm. They happen all over. We had a cool one here last summer, with golf ball sized hail. It was pretty dramatic. There were photos in the local paper, too. CNN did not cover it. Why would they? It's just a freaking hailstorm.

I know if CNN does not pick on it, well it never happened nadinbrzezinski Mar 2012 #8

3 or 4 feet of hail would get local coverage at least. tammywammy Mar 2012 #9

Teleformula does not do YouTube nadinbrzezinski Mar 2012 #11

Well the links you provided already had some pictures. tammywammy Mar 2012 #15

I know, teleformula, the equivalent of CBS nadinbrzezinski Mar 2012 #17

I think it's much more likely that the hail drifted into large piles, as is common after hailstorms, Brickbat Mar 2012 #20

What conspiracy? nadinbrzezinski Mar 2012 #21

Oh, the "special effects" you keep talking about, as if asking for details about an event means the Brickbat Mar 2012 #60

2.56 X 1 = cm x in Aerows Mar 2012 #31

And 60cm still doesn't equal 1 meter. tammywammy Mar 2012 #47

Have you ever made a mistake nadinbrzezinski Mar 2012 #48
