Hail stones in Pampa

these fell in our yard on our house and all over the place I waited until the rain let up to get them
pretty big! It would knock the tar out of you, my truck now has some custom dents we also had a tornado today we got lucky here, it went to east end of town we live on the east end of town by the way, the funnel was about 2 miles east of us from what I can gather.

these bad boys knocked the fire out of things here!

Norman, You are lucky that you weren't out for a ride on the MB! You would have needed the Darth Vader helmet for sure.

Dang Norm, those are big. We didn't get anything like that over here on the poor side of town. We just had some little pea size hail..................

Norm, Fred's house got clobbered last night. He had millions of those hail stones that big hit his house. They broke the wood under the shingles and smashed out some of his windows. He was showing me some pictures of some of the greens out at the golf course. They were destroyed. A bunch of cars at the golf course were totaled. A semi out east of town got turned over by a tornado. Then it got picked up and turned over again.................................

Bob I went out to Fred's and saw first hand the damage, Man!!! One hole was the size of a basket ball on his roof clear through the plywood! It looked like a bomber had carpet bombed his yard. The golf course holes are everywhere you could shoot a hole in one,as there is so many holes to pick from.Fred said there was a pheasant in his yard today with a broke leg and I think a broke wing those poor animals took a beating too.

That's just insane, I can picture in my mind the fear just the noise of those things hitting your house would instill in you! We get the odd light duty twister in my area and hail any bigger than a chick pea sends us running for cover...you guys need bomb shelters for those bad boys!
