I didnt even know about this. I live with my head in sand.
Well even with your head in the sand you would've noticed this one. Lol!

What gets me is the velocity of those balls of ice that got through roofing and ceilings. I've heard of damage from hail but not this severe.

So let me see if I can walk on the thin ice.

Physics teaches us that F=MA, so those BIG (ice)balls do a lot of f'n!

I get that and even the double slit experiment and "Dead cat/ Live cat but these babies where going through houses. Wait!!!!! If I observe where the hailstone is at a moment in time can I tell what speed it's traveling at? Or if I see another motorcyclist wave at me could it be a wave and a particle at the same time? :)

...and if you are travelling at the speed of light and turn your headlights on. do they do any good?

Next week we will discuss Einstein's fear of relatives.......

We have had hail that goes through roof tiles, car windscreens, damages airliners luckily this is rare but tennis ball size, sure, it happens.

Back in November 2016 we had a huge storm here that caused chaos, people drowned in their cars on the freeway because the water rose so fast and the hail was mental. In one street in my town there are a lot of apartment buildings and every single window on the north facing side (street side) was broken.
