A storm is blowing through right now.

It's not doing much but lots of noise and wind.?ÿ

The system is moving east and I heard a prediction for Gorilla Hail when this storm moves to about a 2 hour drive east.?ÿ

I'd never heard of this type of hail so I looked it up,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Don't be there when it hits is all I can say.?ÿ

"As Reed Timmer's Twitter feed demonstrates, the self-proclaimed "extreme meteorologist," storm chaser, "leaf peeper" (whatever that is), and Ph.D. in Meteorology is a super big fan of his car getting destroyed. He's also the man who gave "gorilla hail" its name, a term that didn't exist before April 13, 2021. By all accounts, it seems like he spontaneously made it up and tweeted it to the public, on the spot, while he was taking storm footage. Why gorillas? Because... they're big? We really don't know."

@bill93?ÿ

I wonder how that egg shaped one didn't break when it hit the ground.

JA, PLS, SoCal

@jerry-attrick It formed in a vinegar cloud so it was rubbery and just bounced.

Can't you see the eyes on those gorilla faces staring back at you?
