Giant hailstones are breaking new records

When things finally calmed down, we emerged from our safety hole and found that a chunk of hail had broken a skylight. It was at least the size of a softball.

Glad no one was hurt, and that does sound scary. As I mentioned below, images of hail making holes in roof tiles really got my attention:

Floods, Fires, and Heat Domes (the climate change thread)

Scary, but I’m not sure that “rare” is an accurate description anymore. That headline reminded me of footage from France earlier this year, in which roof tiles were riddled with holes. My first thought was that they were lucky no one was hit, because skin is much softer than those tiles.
