Hailstorm

Footage taken from front door of our home in Exeter NH. I submitted this to CBS Boston and they've been playing some of it all day long. July 11th 2006

Updated to add... This even made it on the "Weather Channel" and many local news channels from around the country picked it up. But hey who cares. The "Weather Channel" people were impressed! Yeay!

We actually fared pretty good. Yeah, our cars and the truck looked like someone assaulted them with a hammer. One cracked windshield, ruined vinyl siding, mounds of debris. But our family was safe and our home is still very liveable.

This might be just another day for you Southern folk, but this just doesn't happen in New England.

This is nothing, look at germany.

[exeterdad]

Germany is cool, but I have no idea what you want us to look at?

This is an extremely good piece of video coverage of a massive storm! I really admire the guy going out in it with his umbrella up. Umbrellas make good lightning conductors! Once again, great filming!

[exeterdad]

Umbrella+lightning? Doh!! I never even thought about that!!??

Wow. Amazing footage. Wasn't there a tornado spotted in that area too?

[exeterdad]

There were reports of a tornado touching down within a few blocks of my house. I don't know if it was confirmed or not. But it would explain the tree's bending over so horribly, and a branch that was 13" dia. lying in my backyard. The wind is why I ran outside with my still camera to begin with. I'm guessing jefferyconrad2006 would know more about that if he is from the trailer park near my house as the park is even closer to the reported sighting.

Is there such thing as Hail Insurance? Also, if you live in an area that gets hail, why don't you have a garage for your cars?

@exeterdad - I think he's referring to a hail video taken in Germany. That storm looked similar to this, except the wind was stronger there, making an even more dramatic scene. Certainly, both videos are impressive.
