Severe thunderstorm I chased just northwest of Mocksville NC. I was right off of Hwy 601 near the I-40 exit. Watched the storm on radar, and knew it had a decent hail core in it. Waited where I figured the hail core would pass overhead, and shot the following video. Several of the hail stones were a bit larger than golf balls, a larger size for North Carolina.
@GettinRadOverHere This was only 20 minutes from where we live, so he just happened to be with me when it fired up. Both of my kids enjoy storms, and I let them go with me once in a while on weaker storms. They don't go with me on longer chases or days with potential for dangerous storms. I won't do anything that would place them in any danger. Even if it means backing off of a storm that gets stronger if they are with me.

Chasing dangerous storms with a toddler in tow? Alrighty-then.
