This picture was taken one mile from my house yesterday afternoon. All I got was rain.

Those look like big frozen snowflakes.

A few years ago we had a weird hail storm here. With stones like that (literally) "spiked". And it tore up our roof, dented garage door on my back garage (cheaper steel one) unlike the main garage heavier gauge that is "foamed in" and so did not dent. But our roof looked like someone went around with a ball peen hammer and went nuts. This last storm had more "normal" or smoother ones and thankfully no damage

I think those are referred to as “Mean as a snake!”

I'd be mad if it was raining baseballs the size of hail and all I got was rain

I’ve never seen hail like that other than in pictures.
Are they as hard as rock / ice or are they softer ?
I imagine those gotta hurt.

Can’t those brain ya if you get beaned by one ?

Lol Didn't mean for that to sound like a complaint.
It was more like a sigh of relief.

Hard. And with all those spikes.
The proper procedure is to gather all you can and put in the freezer so you can show your friends. Or the News crew. LOL

Yes, I imagine so. I've heard that cattle have been lost to them.
We get hail pretty often but those are not too common.
The smaller stuff does plenty of damage on its own.
I've been lucky not to have to personally deal with more than about golf ball to a few baseball size hail.
(That's Okie for Praise the Lord, Chuck.)

yeah, the spikes are what caught my eye - I've never seen hail like that before - They look like one of the medieval morningstar balls or something!

Yes! I was trying to think of what those are called - mace came to my mind. But I didn't bother to look it up- ugly spiked thingies will suffice.

Wow!!!
