Hope any DU'ers out there are doing alright.

Looks pretty nasty from the video they're showing on MSNBC.

4. I've been awake too long, misread that as "Basketball-size hail"

Glad I was wrong. Doesn't make that any less dangerous though.

5. That would be some insane hail!!! Good thing it's not that bad, but baseballs of ice aren't a very

nice thing when they meet your windshield or body. Time to break out the bike helmet!

6. Why would you ride a bike

in a hail storm?

7. You don't get out of that basement much, do you?

Hailstorms are not widespread all-day events. They come up suddenly. So you can be out riding your bike on a blustery spring day, get overtaken by a thunderstorm, and then hail can start raining down on you.

It's simply a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. But then you knew that, didn't you?
