5 Of Wyoming’s Most Epic Hail Storms [VIDEOS]
It's that time of year again. The time when Wyomingites wonder if, by the end of summer, their car will look like a golf ball full of divots. Maybe more like the moon with its many craters.
Because Wyoming is so high up those balls of ice from thunderstorms do not have far to fall down. That means they don't have a chance to melt that much before they hit the ground. That is why our hail storms are epic, compared to lower altitude states.
