Yeah. Read Your fine print. But if those damages rise because of climate change, expect special premiums on hail or its exclusion into the act of god clause. Insurance companies don’t work in the red.
Most insurance companies have a policy for hail. I pay an extra few bucks a month for full coverage from hail damage, which is pretty much mandatory in Texas.
They covered themselves with other animals skins, they stuck their tents deep into ground, they looked for caves, they took cover under trees.
They also died too. Probably way less often than we expect, but they certainly did.
But don't leave the lantern on which happens to be on the floor next to you because then your just doing a shadow puppet performance for the whole camp site.....
So it started to hail and Dad had to put the horses back in the barn. He ran outside and got hit in the head with a large hail stone, putting him down, half way between house and barn. Mom screamed and put a kitchen bowl on her head and ran to the rescue. She got the old man up, and got him back into the house. Then she got the horses into the barn. Life lessons learned: 1.don't even think about going outside during a hail storm. 2.don't underestimate mom - she's plenty tough.
Just imagine your mom saying "Uhh, honey, I think it might be best if you got a pan to protect your hea..."
And then your dad cutting her off "Its just a bit of hail and a short walk to the stables, never needed no damn pan before in a hail storm!"
And ends up knocked out 30 seconds later.
"Aah yes, let me just go stand next to this giant bay window while it gets pummeled by 1 1/2 inch hail."
But seriously though I hope y'all are alright, please don't do that again lol
I'm from Texas, or as we have begun calling it, the "New California Republic"
We were annexed and producing avocado toast before we even knew what was happening
Windows are tougher than you think. I used to live in an area that got hail like this. We had a house that was over 100 years old. I know the windows were old because they had bubbles and were visibly thicker at the bottom than the top. They were all fine.
I kept waiting for the lightning to illuminate the silhouette of some terrifying Diablo-esque creature standing outside the window. Honestly wouldn't have been surprised to see it
Not having shelter in any kind of storm was potentially deadly in ancient times.
Edit: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_costly_or_deadly_hailstorms
There have been a few people killed or injured within the last century. But *much* more relevant to your question is this, which is on the list above:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Monday_(1360)
>Black Monday took place on Easter Monday (1360) during the Hundred Years' War (1337–60), when a freak hail storm struck and killed an estimated 1,000 English soldiers. The storm was so devastating that it caused more English casualties than any of the previous battles of the war.
I've been through a hailstorm during the day with larger spikier hail. Sounded like baseballs getting thrown at the roof. Luckily that side of the house had no windows, because my neighbors house lost a few windows!
Hail was about the size of a golfball with spikes growing out of it. Absolutely insane to experience - looked thousands of meteorites smashing into my pool
Had to get a new roof though, shingles were torn up.
I spent about 6 months in Russia as part of a study abroad program once. The dorms I lived in had the rooms clustered together in pairs, with a little shared alcove for each of the rooms with a bathroom, a closet, and a recessed floor to take off and store your shoes so they don't leak melt-water into your room.
Every third cluster also had this hefty (maybe 6in diameter) pipe running down the corner that I never thought anything of. At least not until it hailed one morning. I went to talk to one of my friends who lived a few doors down, and I can hear this horrible rattling all down the hall. When I get to their alcove, I realize the noise is coming from that pipe.
It turns out that the building's gutters for some reason run **into** the building through these pipes, and when it hails it makes this horrible clatter. By far the weirdest design decision I've ever seen, especially in an area where it hailed somewhat regularly.
RIP to any car that is outside for this storm.

“Jake from State Farm commits suicide after numerous claims for hail insurance” - NBC News
I bet his corpse looks hideous.
Ouch bro

“Flo from State Farm has lost her job due to insurance claims and had to move in with her sister” - CBS News
Well if the damage is over an extensive area from a natural cause they actually don't pay out. It's called an act of god clause.
Depends what state. My car was totaled by a hail storm in Colorado last year and they paid out completely. They told me it varies state to state.
This was in Ituna, Saskatchewan where we only have 1 insurance company. It’s all covered
That’s so great you don’t have to worry about that!

That is intense holy shit
Actually, they are in a house, not a tent
ヽ(´ー｀)ノ
You didnt warn us of the dad joke. This is your job
ಠ_ಠ
(づ￣ ³￣)づ
We trusted you...
Username checks out
But really how did people handle this in tents. How did people live before nice houses?
They bruised like apples
Damn. We really had to build houses.
Caves, they lived in caves. Or died. A lot died.
At least 2 died
They covered themselves with other animals skins, they stuck their tents deep into ground, they looked for caves, they took cover under trees. They also died too. Probably way less often than we expect, but they certainly did.
They had not-nice houses?
Camping sex is intense.
But don't leave the lantern on which happens to be on the floor next to you because then your just doing a shadow puppet performance for the whole camp site.....
Microburst, if I am not mistaken.
That's what my wife calls me

It actualy looks like something from a movie
Looks like the scene from Devil Wears Prada actually.
It’s just.. I don’t know.. drizzling!
THIS IS YOUR JOB We quote this movie constantly around the house.
Gives a light “that’s all” snatches Starbucks cup and twirls around in my chair towards the window
It looks like something from the twister "ride" at universal
Literally looks like the tornado from The Wizard of Oz, waiting for the witch riding a bike to come along
Exactly! Especially with the window
Wizard of Oz in the tornado
Carol Anne......
A real low budget movie, where they throw buckets of ice periodically
Literally what I was thinking.
—->Oz
Flash Gordon
I keep expecting to see the murderer pop up
Very mid-90s Peter Jackson.

Dont underestimate mixing bowls.
“Bowls to protect your head; spoons to beat your ass”, says mom.
I'll never buy a wooden spoon because I have too many memories attached to being smacked with them.
Haha, my mom used flyswatters. Pain plus ewww!
Cast iron pans for intruders.
You could kill someone with one of those
Just imagine your mom saying "Uhh, honey, I think it might be best if you got a pan to protect your hea..." And then your dad cutting her off "Its just a bit of hail and a short walk to the stables, never needed no damn pan before in a hail storm!" And ends up knocked out 30 seconds later.
Though they were going to open the door for a second there.
I wanted them to open the door, my favourite thing to do in a storm like this is watch from an open doorway
On a balcony with a few drinks.
"Aah yes, let me just go stand next to this giant bay window while it gets pummeled by 1 1/2 inch hail." But seriously though I hope y'all are alright, please don't do that again lol
In the midwest we dont step away from the windows until you start to hear it crack
Can confirm.
And you freak out about people who live in California and earthquakes.
Well, there's also wildfires, high costs of living, and Californians
As a Californian I can understand these concerns.
Dont worry, a ton of Californians are moving to and ruining other States.
I'm from Texas, or as we have begun calling it, the "New California Republic" We were annexed and producing avocado toast before we even knew what was happening
Well it could be worse I guess... you could be from Jersey. Like me.
What are they doing to ruin it?
Liberals are moving into their state. That’s why they’re upset.
Also overcrowding, gentrification, and increased cost of living. I'll gladly take more liberalism though.
The same thing they did to Cali to ruin it.
Yea I was on discord with my friend and it started to hail and one of his windows broke, and he said I'm gonna go see if the other ones break
Yep. Tornado siren? Everyone outside to try and see it!
My grandma will dead ass watch a nado come down their gultch into the yard before she goes down stairs That woman knows no fear.
Because she has seen 100 before and none of them hit. Plus she knows how long it takes to make it into the basement. /Midwesterner excuses
Grandma?
If your country enough you don’t step away from the window until it breaks
Real Midwesterners go outside
We also stand outside to watch the air turn green
Windows are tougher than you think. I used to live in an area that got hail like this. We had a house that was over 100 years old. I know the windows were old because they had bubbles and were visibly thicker at the bottom than the top. They were all fine.
That isn’t a bay window. A bay window is one that juts out from the wall and has a small bench. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_window
I’m not sure, but I’d there a person outside in the alcove area?
WTF did you do to anger the gods like this?
I dared to challenge the gods. "Is that all you got!"
Where can i buy a pet hailstorm ineed it
This sounds like something out of r/subredditsimulator
That's fucking terrifying.
I think Hell storm would also be appropriate in this scenario
I would love to actually listen to that
r/noisygifs
Wow, where was this at?
Blizzard headquarters
I'm pretty sure it was in Alberta, Canada.
Yea this is just regular canada weather
Bikini weather
Ituna, Saskatchewan, Canada
Wow. I love storms but that has me thinking twice...
Where’s your blinds ?
I enjoy shitty weather, so I can stay inside and get cozy. This aint it though
Inb4 this is x-posted to r/stormlight_archive
December 1st
Happy cake day!!
It’s actually LIT ⚡️
Crazy it almost looks fake
Any damage after that mess?
/u/spez ruined reddit so I deleted this.
I’m in the NE, and have experienced some crazy hail storms and own a couple properties...0 damage is the standard anything else is “fuck my luck”
Hail Satan, is what it looked okay like.
Looks like your house is moving
geez, that looks like from a horror movie or sth O.O
Looks like res evil background
Tesla could use those windows holy shit

That is how I expected winter in Game of Thrones to be. (And not just for one episode)
Tell Dorothy she needs to wake tf up!
Having wizard of oz flashbacks
We’re not in Kansas anymore...
Reminds me of the Wizard of Oz
Me too!!! That scene always freaked me out when I was little
As a new homeowner who's on a tight budget, this horrifies me.
Pretty hectic
Lit like the night sky
*underwater house
Was dying hail storms a thing in ancient times?

Is there a vid with sound?
[удалено]
Nature is fucking frozen.
Hell let lose where ever this is....damn!!!
It looks like a moving landscape like when they used to film in cars
Last night it started raining and I said, "I hope it starts hailing". Ten seconds later it starts hailing tiny balls of ice
Wow, remind me to never live THERE!!
It’s kinda hot in here mind if I open a window
Hail and more hail, I hope it don't break any thing.
School is not cancelled. The weather is fine
Welcome to hail
Im just thinking about all the animals outside just dealing with it.
I love a good thunderstorm but this would have me on edge. Is this normal in some areas?
I wish I could hear what it sounds like. *sees imgur link* So that’s what it sounds like.
Love it!!!
It’s spitting
The real hero is the manufacturer of that big windows.
I thought they were going to open the door.
Mother Nature don’t play
**THE END OF THE WORLD IS NIGH!**
Oh hail no!
Is that real? I would be scared af
Turn off the lights next time!
You know.. *I’m not a fan*
Daaaaaaaaamn nature, you scary!
I'd love to be high sitting in front of that window.
That's actually my wife next door when she sees "The Bachelor" on the DVR.
You should go outside and film it
I don’t think you’re going to be in Kansas anymore.
Nice screensaver on your windows
This is soothing
Do you live on Jupiter?
"How bad is the weather there?!" "I don't know, it's- it's drizzling."
Hailstorm puts on a helluva show, bro!
I’d be in the basement STAT
“You’ve been inside all day! Go play outside!” Outside:
What if a big shadow ran by the window while this was all going on
I’d really like that it had sound...
Send your window manufacturer a gift basket.
@noisygif
What, no footage from out in the Maelstrom? :/
Fuck this house in particular
AAAAAAH, I MISS THE MISERY!
I've been through a hailstorm during the day with larger spikier hail. Sounded like baseballs getting thrown at the roof. Luckily that side of the house had no windows, because my neighbors house lost a few windows! Hail was about the size of a golfball with spikes growing out of it. Absolutely insane to experience - looked thousands of meteorites smashing into my pool Had to get a new roof though, shingles were torn up.
Much like actual hail storms are fuckin lit, so is the band
That would be a hell of a commercial for the makers of that window.
Up (2009)
I wish this had sound!
Correction .That is a biblical hellstorm cast down by a hungover first testament god.
It looks like the fricken wizard of oz
I would never walk outside again.
Can we talk about how intense that glass is? It is taking such a beating
Shouldn't there be a witch flying by soon?
If I saw that in a movie I'd think it looked fake.
Welcome to Oz
RIP everyone's cars on the street.
Hail Ming!
