With the temps around 80 now, turned down my octo's to 4 cores to keep temps down. I'll bump em up when we drop later in the week.
Yeah, that piece of hail is pretty big. Hope this summer doesn't get as wild as down south did. Would rather have 20 feet of snow than tornados. Suggest folks have some kind of scanner or device that sounds off the sky warn system. Mine has been on past couple of nights.

Darn I'm envy....

We do not have anything even close of that size, just some poring granny hails...

This is simply because we do not have tornadoes, uragans or anything here, so hails come down on first try...
I think that hail has move like yo-yo several times on atmosphere before finally get enough mass to brave any wind...

Propably hit ground more that hundred mile per hours... Some bad hair day say

Yes, I'm part of Skywarn here in the Twin Cities metro area.

Although I said this is "so cool", I keep forgetting about the damage and possible injuries this may cause. I hope not to offend anyone by my excitement.

I always try to chase on the south and west of the storm to stay safe, although the rear flank down-draft can be just as dangerous as the tornado itself.

I do agree that everyone should have a weather radio in the bedroom.

I have a feeling this might be a rough and tumble year again here in MN for strong storms.

No ham license is needed. You can report via cell phone now.

Brink,

Are you out chasing storms tonight ?

Cheers
