Golfballs rain

This happened in Buenos Aires Argentina a couple of months ago. For the ones that don't know about the weather there, never snows down there, in some pics of the video it seems like It's snow but is not. It was hailing like crazy..... You can see the hail bouncing on the street. Notice the cars, under the trees, bus stops, etc..Thousand of windshields got broke and a lot of car destroyed with dents ...
I just wanna to share it with you....Man I love LA weather

on 1:13 minute of the second video you can actually see how they make dents on the hood of the car . I feel for you Jhbhatia, I remember like 15 years ago, when I was living down there I was driving and as soon I saw the first hail I drove into one of those automatic car wash and stayed there until it stopped. Luckily there are a lot of gas stations in the city with those car washes....

You are damn right menacekustoms...

Crazy. People in the Midwest see hail every summer. Sometimes golf balls and bigger but mostly quarter size and smaller. Its not fun to watch your car get hailed out and there is nothing you can do to save it.
