2010-07-12 Driving in a Hail Storm, Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Driving to the Calgary Zoo, we encounter a hail storm, and decide to switch to the Science Museum. The hail was golf ball sized, raining down on the car, sounding like popcorn. People walking. There is a guy hiding under a tree for protection.

How did the car make out? Damages?

[andrewsliu]

@froggerc625 Surprisingly, my friend says he didn't see any visible damage to the hood. But there definitely were dents in other cars in the parking lot. I think the cheaper cars (thinner sheet metal?) were the worst off.

[andrewsliu]

@andrewsliu Actually, it turns out there was a lot of dents to get fixed.

WTF didn't even offer the guy shelter in the car... maybe im stupid to think people think of others not just themselves.

[andrewsliu]

@ImPickyNot Would have offered him shelter, but our car was completely full already so it wasn't even an option. You shouldn't think the worst of people without knowing the full story.

You guys should have let that poor guy into the vehicle....

[andrewsliu]

@mezpezlez The car was already completey full.
