There's a point where they start to lose. And we've reached that. I've had two roofs in two weeks, 3 totalled cars including a 40k Cherokee and an agreed upon 20k camaro. They're starting to get sick of it.
I just spent the last nine weeks in Colorado but thankfully I never saw anything quite that bad. As it was, I was afraid hail would break my solar panels.
What does the car repair bill look like for a storm chaser? Not maintenance but like body work and glass, stuff like that. Also what is the most number of windshields that have broken in a single storm chasing season?
Cyrus Yousefian depends what you do to ur vehicle. If u line-x the car it would only be Windows but if you don't then.......... the light blue car in the vid is what happens to yours. So ua
I know! Looking at radar, it looks like one touched down. Apparently there was 4.74 inch hail during the storm. We have a Sever Thunderstorm Warning in my area right now. I also heard that a Sheriff reported a Funnel in Toledo, OH.
That same storm dropped golf ball size hail at my house closer to Manitou Springs. It caused quite a bit of flooding in Cascade too. Broken windshields all over the place in this area.
So happy you have a UA-cam channel now Reed, haven't seen you since Storm Chasers. Definitely just subbed I know great things are to come on this channel.
They didn't even show Fountain, where they got about 4 inches of hail. We're working there now - a lot of homes have severely damaged vinyl siding. But that's typical for Colorado.
10 weeks later and still in a hotel while house gets repaired. All new windows, gutters, house repainted inside and out, insulation, drywall, roofing shingles all the down to new plywood. (Softball size hail came thru the roof and ceilings) 4 hours of torrential downpour came thru all the way into the house ruining brand new hardwood floors. Builders said our neighborhood in Fountain looked just like a hurricane hit.
What is the weridest thing you've seen happen I've seen it go from rain to small hail to snow in a matter of minutes but I don't live where much happens
I once saw it snowing while the sun was shining - and it was 55 degrees! Another time, it was like a blizzard at 10:00AM with 4" of snow on the ground. By 4:00 PM that same day the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and not a single flake of snow remained.
I was outside Gate 3 by Safeway when this happened. Happened to me again in 2020 right before I ETSd. I love it out there but I'll never move to Colorado for this
Hail hurts doesn't it? Those "big" stones in Manitoulin was nothing. I drove right into the middle of that storm in our Outback Legacy. Right before the storm the drivers side window wouldn't go up for anything(warning #1) Then when I got the intersection of Powers and Fontaine where I could go north or south to the freeway, a little voice said, " Take Powers north." I said, "No, I'll be late for my appointment. I'll just get a little wet. " So at about 2:30 pm on Mon. August 6th I went south down Mesa Ridge Parkway smack in the middle of the worst hail storm I've seen in my life with an open drivers side window. I got just past Syracuse and all hail broke loose. I got pummeled through the open window by hail between baseball and golf ball sized. Two very large ones hit my left elbow rendering it useless. I thought it was broken for sure. Fortunately it was well padded as were the other places I was hit. I counted 6 bruises other than my left arm which turned into one huge bruise from just above my elbow all the way to my wrist. I still have a knot on my elbow and a couple of visible bruises.
Nearly 2" of pea to cherry size hail in extreme southern California provided spectators with a 20 minute motor vehicle ballet sensation in the mid 1970's. US Navy aircraft squadrons didn't laugh though.
Lost my car , live 1000ft from fountain creek in fountain. Got a concussion for 3 days and a bleeding wound on my head from this trying to save the car that got totaled
3:40 And I wish I could say it was a rare occurrence. It's not. It happens more often then I like. It destroyed my Mustang. Put holes in the convertible top. Need a new windshield. And have dimples all over.
Actually, no. Everyone in Colorado knows there will just be another hail storm, so instead of fixing the damage, we just drive around with dented cars. Cops don't even ticket us for broken windshields - for the same reason.
Insurance companies win again lol. Cars need bullet proof glass over there for hail. Awesome footage as always Reed, my daughter is seriously considering meteorolgy thanks to the footage you post. 😆
68CamaroRS/SS lol no worries. I meant that although the insurance companies have to pay out on claims initially, they then hike up the price of nsurance cover.
If Reed travels around to different places to chase storms and rents cars most of the time, he probably has been blacklisted by all the major car rental companies for multiple instances of major weather damage.
I've lived there - it's bad when the hail's so heavy it clogs the storm drains and the streets get a lot of water sloshing around like it's hail soup or something.
Safer to stay in your car then get out and risk getting hit. Windshields are designed not to fall apart even after damaged. There's a film that holds it together. Just nuts to see someone get out! Lol
they should be taking movies of all the poor cows and horses and other animals that have NO shelter from hail...it's gotta hurt so much on them...I feel for the animals, not the stupid cars
Honestly, I'm a new subscriber who just happened to see if you had a channel since Storm Chasers had been gone awhile. You do some publicity/marketing & I bet a lot of people will come to your channel.
wow amazing footage Reed.
Colorado getting beat up this year by hail woo wee! No bueno captain! But Insurance companies are making a fortune $$$$...stay safe!
There's a point where they start to lose. And we've reached that. I've had two roofs in two weeks, 3 totalled cars including a 40k Cherokee and an agreed upon 20k camaro. They're starting to get sick of it.
you don't understand how insurance works by the sound of your comment
Poor Reed..
He goes trough So much to bring us the Best storm footage
Much love to you Reed Timmer!!
Welcome to Colorado where the hail can reach up to baseball sized. Colorado, you’re not lost, you’re here.
Reed how many windshields do you go through during the season
I just spent the last nine weeks in Colorado but thankfully I never saw anything quite that bad. As it was, I was afraid hail would break my solar panels.
Hadn’t thought about that. This could definitely harm some panels.
What does the car repair bill look like for a storm chaser? Not maintenance but like body work and glass, stuff like that. Also what is the most number of windshields that have broken in a single storm chasing season?
Cyrus Yousefian depends what you do to ur vehicle. If u line-x the car it would only be Windows but if you don't then.......... the light blue car in the vid is what happens to yours. So ua
Wow! There’s at Tornado on the ground near York, NE. There isn’t a warning for it, but there’s clear rotation!
I saw that storm west of OMA finally went warned
I know! Looking at radar, it looks like one touched down. Apparently there was 4.74 inch hail during the storm. We have a Sever Thunderstorm Warning in my area right now. I also heard that a Sheriff reported a Funnel in Toledo, OH.
Wild weather Reed!
Yea there were some monsters today.
What was that bright light at 1:48?
Thank you for risking your safety for our video.
That same storm dropped golf ball size hail at my house closer to Manitou Springs. It caused quite a bit of flooding in Cascade too. Broken windshields all over the place in this area.
Stay safe reed,it came down pretty good in motor city by downtown springs by I 25
Reed is always so dramatic. Lol.
Hell yes
Reed Timmer haha... I've been following your work for longer than I can remember. I still love your dramatic behind. 😂😂😂 😘❤
Ell' Nem no honey they were baseball size hail that shattered Windows and killed some zoo animals
did it break your glass?
This isnt dramatic, this is real. Cheyene mountain zoo had ANIMALS die and people injured. Call this dramatic when the hail is life threatening.
outside...under trees...in a hailstorm dropping softball-sized projectiles. I swear, Timmer, something's loose.
Ouch!
This happens before and no one went crazy. Calm down everyone.
So happy you have a UA-cam channel now Reed, haven't seen you since Storm Chasers. Definitely just subbed I know great things are to come on this channel.
Thanks for the news without all the showbiz the news channels give us.
They didn't even show Fountain, where they got about 4 inches of hail. We're working there now - a lot of homes have severely damaged vinyl siding. But that's typical for Colorado.
Why are you standing in the hail storm?
For the UA-cams. 😂
This destroyed cars, homes, and left millions in damage. The worst was near the zoo/Broadmoor area. Biggest hail my husband has ever seen.
Standing under a tree during a severe storm seems like a risky thing to do, but hey, if you're gonna die, let it be on camera, right? Yahoo!
The sound of monster hail must be deafening
It hit Fort Carson the hardest. Was so blessed to have a garage. Co living
10 weeks later and still in a hotel while house gets repaired. All new windows, gutters, house repainted inside and out, insulation, drywall, roofing shingles all the down to new plywood. (Softball size hail came thru the roof and ceilings) 4 hours of torrential downpour came thru all the way into the house ruining brand new hardwood floors.
Builders said our neighborhood in Fountain looked just like a hurricane hit.
And 3 totalled vehicles.
My goodness sorry you guys had to go through all that
I was staying with my parents in fountain when the first one happened. There have been four or so massive storms.
What is the weridest thing you've seen happen I've seen it go from rain to small hail to snow in a matter of minutes but I don't live where much happens
I once saw it snowing while the sun was shining - and it was 55 degrees! Another time, it was like a blizzard at 10:00AM with 4" of snow on the ground. By 4:00 PM that same day the sun was shining, not a cloud in the sky and not a single flake of snow remained.
Those hail stones in his hand look too perfect, I wonder if he took some smaller ones and smooshed them together.
Was on Fort Carson for this one, it was much bigger there. Smh.
I was outside Gate 3 by Safeway when this happened. Happened to me again in 2020 right before I ETSd. I love it out there but I'll never move to Colorado for this
Reed you were right by my house in fountain please be safe
Yes must have been very close! What a flood down the creek from that one
I'd rather be out in the hail than shelter under a tree during lightning. Crazy people.
Yeah dropped the ball waiting for that flood lol
Hail hurts doesn't it? Those "big" stones in Manitoulin was nothing. I drove right into the middle of that storm in our Outback Legacy. Right before the storm the drivers side window wouldn't go up for anything(warning #1) Then when I got the intersection of Powers and Fontaine where I could go north or south to the freeway, a little voice said, " Take Powers north."

This happens EVERY YEAR.
Best way to take out dings is pour hot water on it.
Windows.....that's a different story.
Gotta love that Colorado weather. I love my State, no place like it in the world. Salute Reed Timmer for all he's done in the meteorology community.
michael atencio
Lol me too. Lovely state, but bipolar weather.
This hail storm killed two animals at the Cheyenne mountain zoo and caused it to close for a few days because of the damages.
Poor things
Nearly 2" of pea to cherry size hail in extreme southern California provided spectators with a 20 minute motor vehicle ballet sensation in the mid 1970's.
US Navy aircraft squadrons didn't laugh though.
Good. Fuck those navy tossers. This is an army/air force town. 😂
The hail in colorado springs gets pretty bad in Denver it gets bad as well but colorado springs is bad and it happens quite a bit
Lost my car , live 1000ft from fountain creek in fountain. Got a concussion for 3 days and a bleeding wound on my head from this trying to save the car that got totaled
It's been pretty intense... July 13th, we had another storm, Softball sized... I'm on my third car in two months now...
Very good my bro keep up 💯
I live in Fountain. That storm was crazy! We thought it was a tornado.
A few rounds of storms on multiple days! More this week possible
I wanna be like you. Not scared of storms as I am. I wish my phobia wasn't a thing :/
Mine started as fear. Fine line with curiosity
Reed Timmer that's really cool! Also how do you fix your windshields? Ours broke and we don't know where to go 😂
3:40 And I wish I could say it was a rare occurrence. It's not. It happens more often then I like. It destroyed my Mustang. Put holes in the convertible top. Need a new windshield. And have dimples all over.
Same. This storm fucked up my mustang convertible too
Do you get a bonus from AccuWeather every time you can get hailstone to crack the windsheild?
Haha no unfortunately
Yeah we were in the garage filming and both cars got totaled
Body shops... "gods be praised"
Uh, which ones?
Actually, no. Everyone in Colorado knows there will just be another hail storm, so instead of fixing the damage, we just drive around with dented cars. Cops don't even ticket us for broken windshields - for the same reason.
You need a windshield protector
Yes that HURT 😁🌨😓⚡👍
This has happened so much this year. It’s crazy. I love rain and all but this has me worried! 😅 i live in fountain
It happens every year. And it's not crazy - it's normal.
Insurance companies win again lol. Cars need bullet proof glass over there for hail. Awesome footage as always Reed, my daughter is seriously considering meteorolgy thanks to the footage you post. 😆
In this case I think the insurance companies lost haha
Reed Timmer haha yep I think maybe your right 😁😁
The Dummyblondes How did they win?? I must be confused
68CamaroRS/SS lol no worries. I meant that although the insurance companies have to pay out on claims initially, they then hike up the price of nsurance cover.
How do insurance companies "win", when they're paying out all those claims?
I WAS THERE. THEY WERE IN THE TREES
Oh by the way, the Subaru gave up her life for me. She was a total loss.
Take a drink every time Reed loses a windshield 🍸 lol
honeysucklejen Good way to get drunk !!
We got rocked on Fort Carson.
Soooooo happy I didn't get to much damage that day
If Reed travels around to different places to chase storms and rents cars most of the time, he probably has been blacklisted by all the major car rental companies for multiple instances of major weather damage.
All good believe it or not!
Reed Timmer You must always get insurance when you rent 'em, if they're coming back with busted windshields and lots of dents.
😂😂😂😂🤣 Run Forest Run😂😂🤣😎 you are too funny!! Thanks I needed an early morning chuckle with my coffee.☕ and OUCH😁
We are lucky that storm didn't drop its baseballs a few minutes earlier!
I would try to drive under the tree
Not a bad idea
I've done that many times but finally my luck ran out and had no cover.
My friend and I did that. That was after the hail already cracked almost the whole windshield lol
You are brave lol. Cool video thanks
You're not buffing that out!
We just had our roof done monday too! 😠😭😤
Kaitlin Ski so what happened
We are still on the waiting list for repairs from the first storm in late june...thank god we didn't get it done b4 this last one..
Vic Salone I hear ya! Thankfully our roofers offered to pay the second deductible! No new roof until the season is over though! 😩
Kaitlin Ski that’s good
Nacho Cheese you live around here?
One of those blessed hailstones hit me on the head ...
Damn hopefully you're okay! Need to always have the bike helmet with you in CO
I'm okay. Thanks for asking. I could of used one of those.
I live in Colorado Springs lol, my car got destroyed.
I've lived there - it's bad when the hail's so heavy it clogs the storm drains and the streets get a lot of water sloshing around like it's hail soup or something.
That hail killed 4 animals at the Cheyenne zoo
Safer to stay in your car then get out and risk getting hit. Windshields are designed not to fall apart even after damaged. There's a film that holds it together. Just nuts to see someone get out! Lol
Thanks again for posting this Reed. I wilbe subscribing to your chanel. Hell i will get the dom going again. It will have a seat for me tho mate!!!
I got hit by one and it’s hurts so bad it feels like your getting hit by baseballs
Whoa! Hope no one was hurt?
You should see the broadmors golf course
timmy turner's mom is at it again
This was crazy I remember seeing a windshield and it looked like someone took a baseball bat to it😬
Hey guys parking under a tree will ease up the hail damage...Ill go down with my CHEVY....
Word
Reed Timmer ......to the wise...
And of course I just moved here...been here one month barley made it though the 33 tornadoes in Iowa...okay it can stop now!
Why are you outside?
I'll take my chances
You need hail guards for the windows. And a helmet.
Yeah, that'll buff right out
Size + velocity= damage!!!!!
Oh Hailll no! We are about to move there.
You need a Kevlar umbrella.
That is a great idea!
they should be taking movies of all the poor cows and horses and other animals that have NO shelter from hail...it's gotta hurt so much on them...I feel for the animals, not the stupid cars
Yes those poor things
HOW do you not have more subscribers?
Honestly, I'm a new subscriber who just happened to see if you had a channel since Storm Chasers had been gone awhile. You do some publicity/marketing & I bet a lot of people will come to your channel.
ew.
My daughters car was totaled out, and most of my neighbors
That's crazy! getting my vehicle Rhino coated when I move there. lol Gotta keep a hard hat in you car.
Hail in the summertime thats intersting?
Every single year. Hail season in Colorado is from April through Sept. (the rest of the year is snow season).
Must be the murdered Veterans funeral today
I used to live in colorado springs but now i live in texas!!🇨🇱🇨🇱
Hannah sanders I am from Denver but I now live in Florida.
Lived in Colorado Springs for the last two years, and we’re moving to Austin next year. I hate this place with a passion.....
Enjoy the heat and traffic there, not to mention the libtards
bk6271 Colorado springs has bad traffic and libtards, and the roads have allot of potholes.
Big Bear Cookout The only three state I will live in Are Florida Texas and Colorado.
yooo i live in fountain colorado small world....
I miss Colorado
"Buff it out"...😅
I see golf balls maybe but not softball. still is pretty messed up however
The hail stones at my house were larger than my hand
bornyard - What's messed up about it? This is normal for Colorado.
If you move to Colorado you better buy you a beater car..
Ya it got my car.
the safe place for your is in the puddle
God is Pissed
Hail storm coming better put the car in the garage...oh wait we stay in a block of flats. Oh well new windscreen again.
You need a bike helmet
Hell yes
That man screaming must have lost so much HP. I hope a med kit in a drum or at least a full size cooked turkey is laying around.
Scorpion7substance you must not live here, you’d have been screaming too.
I live here and it sucks
