Chicago Massive Hail Storm June 30 2011

The storm front came in from almost due North, built up energy over the lakes, and then dropped egg size hail onto the streets. This video captures the peak of the hail. The noise was incredible.

Where was this filmed? How bad is it in Lincoln Square/Northcenter area? Are the cars dented there?

[JoshSimerman]

@bethanyillini This was filmed near Humboldt Park, and the cars are all completely dented and a lot of windows were broken or cracked.

It's almost like an invisible person is hitting a massive amount of ping pong balls towards the corner of the gate.
