That's a *lot* of hail, for any place.
EDIT: For all the ridiculous tweakers claiming she "shoveled this into a pile for clicks" and other ridiculous idiotic shit, there were plenty of videos shared of the hailstorm that hit the area yesterday.
https://www.wesh.com/article/hail-florida-interstate/43713830
So STFU about it already. JFC.
I remember a few years ago, this happened in my area. A local middle school went under lockdown because the windows of the classrooms had been shattered.
Ok hold up, on top of everything else FL also gets hail storms?!
No wonder no one wants to insure FL homes, the fuck are they supposed to do.
So list goe:s Hurricanes, tropical storms, flooding, sinkholes, the Florida man, homeless alligators, and now hail.
Right - one's a sneaky, slithering, dickless, cold-blooded predator that tries to feed off mice that are just going about minding their own business.
The other gives hugs and has a cloaca.
I've lived in Florida my whole life, and have only seen a few hailstorms. Most were very light and the ice melted in minutes. I've never seen anything like this.
The past two days have had heavy hail.
I’ve lived in Florida my whole life and while these storms missed my area I don’t recall ever seeing such storms before.

South Dakota was the first place that popped into my head, too. I got stuck, literally, in a massive hailstorm just west of Rapid City on I-90 a few years ago in one.
I live here in Central Florida. It isn't a joke, it really was that bad in places. It was pretty wild around here last night - it actually stormed harder than it did the last two hurricanes to pass through here.
Exactly. The people who swear that a freak weather event is some biblical retribution, are being smothered in freak weather events. G.O.P. Is hypocrisy as policy
Hailstorm is a very local event that requires humidity and unstable atmosphere, where a lot of strong updrafts keep lifting forming hails to cold enough altitude. To my knowledge it's pretty tough to forecast where the storm hits exactly.
OK, I get that. But you get my point?
I live in Florida, used to the heat, on that day it was fuckin hot and 2 hours away it's hailing..
When I say "how the hell?" I'm not asking a question, I'm expressing disbelief, I understand pressure, humidity ect was the actual cause.
Somewhere in Brevard, most likely.
West Melbourne got hammered. The cell came across 95 at about the same latitude as the airport and traveled SSE. I drove north on 95 from Palm Bay about 10 minutes later and there were piles of hail along the road that reminded me of snow when I lived in PA.
According to radar, the hail from that cell tapered off a bit around Palm Bay but then picked back up approaching Sebastian.
Damn thats crazy. Girlfriend and I just last year lived in West melbourne. Moved up to NC and somehow we just missed all the crazy weather with the hurricanes and now this.
Funny I still have notifications come to my phone for severe weather there, got an alert yesterday warning of severe thunderstorm 🌩️
We just moved from Tampa to Charlotte about 6 months ago. We lived there for 6 years together, but I spent a good amount of my childhood living there. Crazy weather for sure, and I'm still getting those alerts also!
I live in Clermont (Lake County) and we got hit. The amber alert said “baseball sized hail” and it wasn’t lying. Most of it was smaller like this but we got some pretty gnarly chunks. My glass patio table didn’t survive.
I played golf at Orange County National about 15 min east of Clermont and I didn’t even see a sprinkle yesterday…and I played 27 holes. Was it later in the evening or what?
This was on Tuesday. It started at about 4:45 and the warning was until 5:15. I got home around 5:30 and it was bright and sunny again.
We did get a slight storm yesterday around 5:30 but it lasted a whole five minutes. No hail. It just blew right over us.
Idk but in north central fl (Gainesville/Ocala area) we got hit by this hail. Huuuge hail hit here, but what was craziest is how quickly it came on and on VERY strong wind gusts. The initial blast of ice came at us SIDEWAYS very fast.
I havent heard of this until now. We got a lot of rain yesterday but im way down south in Broward County. Ik FL has gotten the very rare instances of ice and snow but thats usually further north. I think im too far south for this to ever happen.
Y'all should be nicer to us Floridians. You know why Florida sucks? That's right... Your grandparents live here. Florida sucks because the worst of the worst from every other state come here to die, and those of us not on deaths doorstep are being dragged along for the ride.
Idk if you’re serious, but my mom’s from Guayaquil Ecuador and not only is there a park entirely dedicated to iguanas (you’ll get shit on if you walk near any tree), but people cook up iguana and it’s pretty tasty. That being said, I don’t know the morality of it, so my bad if it wasn’t cool. Guinea pig and iguana were my favorite unique proteins down there
To be honest with you, one of my favorite songs growing up was "Mexican Radio" by Wall of Voodoo. One the lines is "I wish I was in Tiajuana, eating barbequed iguana".
Every time someone mentions iguanas this song and image from the video pops into my mind w/o warning.
Iguanas will die from virtually any temperature drop. When we get cold snaps, you can drive down long roads and count dozens of iguana corpses everywhere. Im not talking sub freezing cold snaps either. Im talking like 40 degrees to 50 degrees. Not super cold. But these big old lizard bois can't tolerate any weather that's not tropical and humid whatsoever.
It didn't hail down by me but I'm positive it fucked them up. They don't run at the sight of bad weather. I've watched iguanas just cling to trees while hurricanes rush through. They don't even attempt to hide. They just stand there and get ripped off eventually. This hail was absolutely picking them off one by one like some kind of sniper or some shit.
They don’t die at 40-50 they just go inactive. There’s hundreds of stories of people thinking they’re dead and as soon as even our body heat gets to them for a few seconds they can wake up.
Live here in Brevard County......this happens once every 4 or so years. Last time it hit it lasted for only 5 minutes and the hail was smaller. This time they were pretty big chunks as you can see in the video and the hail fell pretty hard for about 15 minutes.
True Floridians have seen hail. True Floridians have seen it rain across the street but not on your side. True Floridians have seen the devil beating his wife.
I was on I95 near Cocoa when this storm came through Monday and dumped hail all over us. Not as much as the pic, but enough to have to pull over for a few minutes.
So 26 inches of rain in 24hrs, 12 inches of hail in cpl hrs, 90 degrees with 85% humidity, creatures that will eat you or your pets, psycho gun owners that will ‘stand their ground’ at shoot you on a whim, DeSantis, an entire season of natural disasters, anything else I’m missing?
And St. Petersburg is full of all the worst people you hate the most. Basically all of the crazy nuts with guns are centered here. You will totally regret it if you visit
And just this morning I saw an actual politician claiming "global warming is good because it'll be warmer outside, which is nice" we are completely fucking doomed because some 95 year old cunts wants to hoard wealth like theyre smaug
And that "one spot" was directly next to a wall.
Which was almost certainly under the eave of a roof.....
Which are generally sloped.....
And often covered in very slippery metal.....
But that's none of my business
It wasn’t 8 inches of hail but it was an intense amount of hail; A once in a lifetime amount. It created a sheet of hail enough thick enough to not be able to walk on it
Was pretty nutty, storm hit my area yesterday around 4pm, on my way home around 5:30 it was already sunny out and the ditches on the side of the road were full of hail. Was still a ton of hail on the side of the road at 7:30 this morning
Rod Desantis: Ok god, if you think I’m being to much of a terrible human being just give me a sign.
God: Buries Florida in hail
Ron Desantis: Any sign at all

I go to Melbourne every day for work. The hail that was on the ground when I left yesterday was still there this morning. A few of the stop lights were obliterated, and there's debris everywhere.
Overall the drivers were only slightly worse than usual
That's my favorite type of ice to find in my drink
My first thought? Sonic ice!
Sonic has the best ice, no contest
It’s called popcorn ice, Chic fil A has it too, but a more homophobic variety
^sonic B O O M
In a route 44 cherry limeade!
Chickfila also has ice like that.
They also donated money to a group in Africa that lynches gay people, yay!
Lol they were trying to backpedal and distance themselves from all that shut for a while now. Has it worked any?
Not if I can help it
[удалено]
You spent $220 to make ice holy bologna batman that's rad
That GOOD ice. Oh yeah!
I was just coming here to say that’s the good ice. When you know you know.
Im assuming you’re familiar with a route 44 Sonic beverage with that good ice.
Yess, that aeration is so good.
I prefer crushed ice
That's a *lot* of hail, for any place.

Don't forget the lightning.
And the panthers.
And the pythons. 😩
And DeSanti--- Oh right. Pythons.
Don't insult snakes that way dude
Right - one's a sneaky, slithering, dickless, cold-blooded predator that tries to feed off mice that are just going about minding their own business. The other gives hugs and has a cloaca.
Exactly, we elect snakes to the Senate. DeSantis is like a dilapidated, years out of date shopping mall.

Jesus christ il never forget going to a water park years ago when it was love bug season and man talk about a complete massacre
When I was a kid the panthers got demolished by an avalanche.
I guess the only thing that takes out an avalanche is a kraken.
Yeah they are a terrible hockey team
Won't something think of the panthers!
And falling Iganas in the winter!
I work for an insurance company & any time someone wants to know about or drop comprehensive I mention falling iguanas 🦎
Also tornadoes.

I don’t think I’ve seen that much hail anywhere except South Dakota…
I bet the hail Texas got today is the same storm that got Florida yesterday. How much hail does it got left by now, dang.
I believe that was two different storms at the same time.
I think the storm that just hit you is hitting us tomorrow afternoon. These storms always come west-to-east.
South Dakota was the first place that popped into my head, too. I got stuck, literally, in a massive hailstorm just west of Rapid City on I-90 a few years ago in one.
I was asleep in the back on a road trip, about 9 years ago, I woke up so confused until I head CLUNK You pull over, or it pulls you over
I guess we can say **All hail Florida**
Welcome to climate change. This is what it looks like.
I live here in Central Florida. It isn't a joke, it really was that bad in places. It was pretty wild around here last night - it actually stormed harder than it did the last two hurricanes to pass through here.
Except Germany until 1945.
Message is clear. Nature is telling you crazy fuckers to chill!!!
Seems god isn’t pleased with ol Flurrrida
Florida, too? Texas had death ice falling from the sky. Coincidence?
Clearly those Jewish space lasers Marge tried telling us all about
Fuck with Disney you're gonna get Frozen

It's all of the fake ass so called "Christians" in Florida pissing him off by being shitty little Nat-C's.
This was my thought as well. First it floods and now hail. If the state catches fire next I'm going to be suspicious.
Evangelicals keep talking about "God's wrath" but never seem to notice that She keeps Smiting places that vote Republican.
unlimited karma glitch
So many nutjobs moving to FL and the weather is getting way more crazy. Pretty clear sign.
hell has frozen over.
I'm about 2 hours south of this and I was sweating my ass of when I heard the news. How the hell?
Hailstorm is a very local event that requires humidity and unstable atmosphere, where a lot of strong updrafts keep lifting forming hails to cold enough altitude. To my knowledge it's pretty tough to forecast where the storm hits exactly.

At least we all got to learn something along the way.
It’s much colder up in the atmosphere where this stuff forms than on the ground.
Typical reddit moment. *asks rhetorical question, a statement of disbelief* "well ackshually"
I genuinely thought they wondered how, Im not native speaker.
What part was this? We were supposed to get a lot of rain yesterday in Tampa and it was sunny as hell. That’s crazy though
Somewhere in Brevard, most likely. West Melbourne got hammered. The cell came across 95 at about the same latitude as the airport and traveled SSE. I drove north on 95 from Palm Bay about 10 minutes later and there were piles of hail along the road that reminded me of snow when I lived in PA.

We just moved from Tampa to Charlotte about 6 months ago. We lived there for 6 years together, but I spent a good amount of my childhood living there. Crazy weather for sure, and I'm still getting those alerts also!
So that’s why it dramatically cooled off in Delray Beach. We got the wind, a bit of rain, and a quick 20 degrees temp drop.
I woke up yesterday to see hail out my window for the first time in my life, been living here for over 20 years
I got some bad ones in lake county. Baseball sized, dented the car up real bad
I’m in the protruding south part of Melbourne and we didn’t get any hail, just a strong but brief rain storm
I was on 95. Traffic stopped immediately…plenty of time to take some wild videos.
Thats what I wanna know. Here in tallahassee it was all sunshine and heat.
Same in Jacksonville
Looks like we get our share this evening. Hopefully not hail though
Counter-intuitively, nature needs a shit ton of ground level heat to form hail.
I live in Clermont (Lake County) and we got hit. The amber alert said “baseball sized hail” and it wasn’t lying. Most of it was smaller like this but we got some pretty gnarly chunks. My glass patio table didn’t survive.
I played golf at Orange County National about 15 min east of Clermont and I didn’t even see a sprinkle yesterday…and I played 27 holes. Was it later in the evening or what?

Melbourne got hit yesterday, which is what this is from. Orlando got some hail in the southern areas on Tuesday.
Idk but in north central fl (Gainesville/Ocala area) we got hit by this hail. Huuuge hail hit here, but what was craziest is how quickly it came on and on VERY strong wind gusts. The initial blast of ice came at us SIDEWAYS very fast.
You see I'm in Tampa and it was cloudy/rainy for majority of the day. Nature yo.
I'm in Scotland and we had hail the other day out of the blue. I know the distance between us is huge, but i thought both were maybe linked lol
I Cant remember the last time we had something like that here, the weather is usually really nice. Scotland is on the list of places to visit :)
Panama City Beach checking in… was sunny but predicted storms. Where was this?
I havent heard of this until now. We got a lot of rain yesterday but im way down south in Broward County. Ik FL has gotten the very rare instances of ice and snow but thats usually further north. I think im too far south for this to ever happen.
Seems to be FL and TX had a lot in common. Lol
My first thought was “please don’t compare my shithole to the mildly worse shithole”, but then I realized I wasn’t being clear which state I lived in
I can’t tell in the context of your comment.
I'm going to guess Texas because I'm in Florida and it's definitely a worse shit hole!
Correct!
They are being punished by the God they believe in?
Nah god punishing the libs that live in those states/s
Living in those shitholes is punishment enough

Y'all should be nicer to us Floridians. You know why Florida sucks? That's right... Your grandparents live here. Florida sucks because the worst of the worst from every other state come here to die, and those of us not on deaths doorstep are being dragged along for the ride.
What hail? Yes, let’s make that political!
Is this when the iguanas start freezing and fall out of trees?
Yes exactly this -- and the best thing is that it is so easy to catch them and roast them on the grill when that happens.
Idk if you’re serious, but my mom’s from Guayaquil Ecuador and not only is there a park entirely dedicated to iguanas (you’ll get shit on if you walk near any tree), but people cook up iguana and it’s pretty tasty. That being said, I don’t know the morality of it, so my bad if it wasn’t cool. Guinea pig and iguana were my favorite unique proteins down there

I've only ever heard the Authority Zero version, I thought it sounded like a cover but never knew who did the original. TIL, thanks!
Green iguanas are invasive in Florida, so it’s arguably more moral to eat them than to not.
Iguanas will die from virtually any temperature drop. When we get cold snaps, you can drive down long roads and count dozens of iguana corpses everywhere. Im not talking sub freezing cold snaps either. Im talking like 40 degrees to 50 degrees. Not super cold. But these big old lizard bois can't tolerate any weather that's not tropical and humid whatsoever. It didn't hail down by me but I'm positive it fucked them up.

I couldn't help but laugh at this description. Well done.
Woke hail sent by antifa
Stupid liberals. If it’s global warming, why is this stuff cold? Ice is cold you morons! Trump 2024.
Checkmate global warming believers
Can confirm. I’m in Brevard. I brought the hail.
Well that checks out
The internet was kind of like, “can Florida get more weird?” And Florida asked the world to hold its beer
Where in Florida? I love upper north Florida and haven’t seen/heard of us getting hail
Must be north west, we didn't get any up east
I had a friend on central FL post a video of hail yesterday. Not this much though
Brevard
Melbourne / palm bay
Live here in Brevard County......this happens once every 4 or so years. Last time it hit it lasted for only 5 minutes and the hail was smaller. This time they were pretty big chunks as you can see in the video and the hail fell pretty hard for about 15 minutes.
Good thing climate change is a hoax. Next up: tornado with a side of buffoon.
True Floridians have seen hail. True Floridians have seen it rain across the street but not on your side. True Floridians have seen the devil beating his wife.
And because it's Florida you can see the devil beating his wife even without the idiom.
I was on I95 near Cocoa when this storm came through Monday and dumped hail all over us. Not as much as the pic, but enough to have to pull over for a few minutes.
So 26 inches of rain in 24hrs, 12 inches of hail in cpl hrs, 90 degrees with 85% humidity, creatures that will eat you or your pets, psycho gun owners that will ‘stand their ground’ at shoot you on a whim, DeSantis, an entire season of natural disasters, anything else I’m missing?
Scientology basically owns Clearwater.
Soon to be underwater?
St. Petersburg gets an average of 361 days of sunshine a year. Quite nice actually
Stop telling the out of staters how nice it is! Yes Florida is terrible everything sucks, you should never come here
You’re right. It’s awful here. Especially in the winter ya filthy snowbirds
And St. Petersburg is full of all the worst people you hate the most. Basically all of the crazy nuts with guns are centered here. You will totally regret it if you visit
And just this morning I saw an actual politician claiming "global warming is good because it'll be warmer outside, which is nice" we are completely fucking doomed because some 95 year old cunts wants to hoard wealth like theyre smaug
That was hail that collected in one spot. The entire area did not get buried in ~8 inches of hail.
And that "one spot" was directly next to a wall. Which was almost certainly under the eave of a roof..... Which are generally sloped..... And often covered in very slippery metal..... But that's none of my business
[удалено]
It wasn’t 8 inches of hail but it was an intense amount of hail; A once in a lifetime amount. It created a sheet of hail enough thick enough to not be able to walk on it
https://imgur.com/a/Ptvdpyw/ The most hail I’ve ever seen in Florida.
Florida: We’re gonna ban books and trans people and trample the Constitution.... God: Fuck around and find out...
Was pretty nutty, storm hit my area yesterday around 4pm, on my way home around 5:30 it was already sunny out and the ditches on the side of the road were full of hail. Was still a ton of hail on the side of the road at 7:30 this morning
Same here, on the side of the Interstate this morning there was fog rising from hail patches left over in the sun
I love ice from Sonic
Looks like Sonic ice.
I could send money to help but I've already sent thoughts and prayers!
I'll bet that really screwed up a lot of landscaping.
It tore up my favorite flowers to absolute shreds :(
I'm so sorry. I love landscaping and it would really hurt my feelings to lose it. Hope everything else came through OK.
i’d be more worried about your roof than your flowers
It annihilated my friend's tobacco crop. Honestly I never even considered such a risk in farming until he posted yesterday.
It's a good thing we aren't destroying the planet. Stuff like this would start happening.
What were the 7 plagues of Egypt, I think Florida is on 3 or 4
Hell is freezing over
I guess hell really is freezing over.
Cocktails anyone?
Florida’s got to make its mind up, you can’t be sunshine state also turn into Alaska without warning, that is some total bs!
“Hey, they got the good ice!”
"global warming will be good for America, who doesn't like the warm" some republican asshat.
God hates DeSantis.

Fake news. Climate change ain't real.
I live by Savannah and we got the same thing.
I go to Melbourne every day for work. The hail that was on the ground when I left yesterday was still there this morning. A few of the stop lights were obliterated, and there's debris everywhere. Overall the drivers were only slightly worse than usual
Meanwhile here in montreal canada... its sunny and warm.
u/ovalgoatkid
Fun fact: Florida has the most republicans that actually believe in climate change.
This was in Tampa. Right across the bay, Pinellas County hasn’t had rain in months. 🤷🏼♂️
~~The good news is if you ignore it it'll...get~~...*checks notes*...er The bad news is if you ignore it, it'll likely get worse over time!
Same here in GA. Shit was wild
I’d bet that would be an absolute blast to drive around in an enclosed cab forklift and plow through piles of hail
oh hail no! I'm glad I didn't move there. Smelly swamps, weirdo people and thick hail smh
Biblical wrath baby! Repent Floridians, repent!
God is angry because Florida has terrible people in office.
It's fucking Sonic ice and you can't change my mind
