This deserves it's own thread:
Today for the first time since I returned to college this year, I didn't wake up on a weekday to go to breakfast. I slept in a whole extra hour--and then I posted on message boards til 11:30, went to lunch, then came back. I watched soccer and called the girl that i'm obsessed with to inform her that soccer was on. At 2:00 it started raining a little. Then it got harder. I went outside to watch. Hey, we live in a desert, rain is exciting.
Then it started to rain even HARDER. It was pouring, and my friend and I started running around in the rain shirtless. Then it started hailing. So we were running around shirtless in the hail; it was still pouring like someone was pouring buckets of water on us. Then a big "CLUNK" and a hailball the size of a golf ball came down. We got back under the balcony. We'd run back out and get a big one if we saw it, risking getting knocked out to find a big hail stone. But then it started raining down hail stones larger than golf balls. We stayed retreated.
The cars outside our dorms were being pelted and dented. Then the hail started to break windows. We didn't notice at first, because we could only see the windshields of most cars and those looked fine through the rain (even though they were only about 30 feet away, it was pouring that hard that we couldn't see it clearly). Then we saw a car that was backed into its spot with a broken rear window. On TV it said there was a tornado warning, so I called the girl again to see if she was all right because she is deathly afraid of tornadoes. She was hysterical. It stopped hailing, and I went over to her dorm to see if she was all right.
She was, and we started to walk around and take pictures. I didn't notice all the car windows busted out on the way to her dorm (I was running and talking on the phone while trying to avoid twisting my ankle on all the branches that were stripped from the trees and holding my pants up because i didn't have a belt). Then I noticed that almost every car had a broken window (hers didn't, but it was dented to hell). So when I got to my car, I found that my back window was no longer there, and my windshield looked like someone decided to use it as target practice for golf. One of my side mirrors was no longer there. The hail came down and went through my speakers to my trunk.
And I only have liability insurance.
