About nine years ago I was on my way home from work on my bike. I saw a huge storm behind me coming, the clouds were outrageous. I'm fine getting rained on going home in the middle of summer, it can be refreshing.
Unfortunately, this was a hailstorm, about golfball sized, so when it hit I was far enough away from work and trapped in an area with no cover. I was pelted all over, bruises forming on my legs, arm and torso. I saw a man in the distance standing in an auto garage and I rushed over to finally get cover.
That was the worse hail I have ever experienced, so I wanted to ask:
Have you ever been caught outside in a severe hail storm?
