Baseball size hail. Kansas City.

She went to take her trash out, it started hailing, and she had to put her gross trash can on her head, and blindly walk to get under the stairway of her apartment. She was bruised on shoulders and legs, and had several cuts on her arms.

She said she might have died without that trash can.

Video from Red Rocks is really scary.
