One of those massive notorious hailstorms that causes a lot of damage. The “white plague” as farmers in the Midwest call it, causes hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to crops each year. Insurance companies pay out millions of dollars each year to compensate for large hail damage to cars, houses, and other buildings left exposed. Towards the end of the video, you can see one guys car sustains some serious damage from the large hailstones.

This video is amazing for two reasons. One is, that was really darn close! The second is, whoever is filming is in a building, looking through a very small opening, happens to be looking in exactly the right place and at the right time just as a lightning bolt slams into a tree.
