What the Hail is coming down?
Several thousand concert goers assembled Wednesday night at the famous open air Red Rocks Amphitheatre, just East of Denver. They came to experience a Louis Tomlinson concert but instead, they were hit by severe weather, and a canceled show. The show started pretty normally, although there were a few clouds in the sky through the opening act. Between the first and second act, there was rain and lightning, and Red Rocks officials informed the crowd of the first delay of the evening. After the first delay, she said they were told the concert would resume, so people went back to their seats. Eventually, there was an official announcement that the venue highly recommended people to take shelter in their cars. People were urged to take cover from the storm. Red Rocks initially told fans the concert was under a weather delay, then officially postponed the show.
From there, Nicole Criner said it began to hail, first smaller pieces but an “extreme downpour” within five minutes, with pieces up to the size of golf balls. She and her sister found a sign and took cover under it. Nicole described the storm as an “extreme downpour” that seemingly came within minutes. Videos from the concert venue show heavy rain and hail covering the amphitheater, which hit cars and injured some concertgoers. Seven people were transported to area hospitals with non-life threatening injuries, and a total of 80 to 90 people were treated at the scene for injuries including cuts and broken bones. Nicole’s glasses were swept away in the downpour, and she and her sister took refuge in a car that was passing by. Nicole said her dad had a rental car, and although the windshield didn’t crack, there was damage to the front and back bumpers.
This Video shows hail coming down a staircase as lightning flashes in the sky and alarmed concertgoers pass by. Four large hailstones are seen in Scott’s hands. Another video from the scene shows a group hiding in a crowded bathroom during the hailstorm. “About 10 minutes before the hail started really coming down, I got hit with a small piece of it, and didn’t realize it was hail until it started coming down on us out of nowhere.” Jessie Mueller and her friends found shelter in the bathroom, she said. “We are unharmed, but some of my other friends got caught in it and now have broken bones and bruises,” Mueller said. “I saw just piles and piles of hail, and it looks like it had snowed in the seats of the amphitheater when we finally got out of the bathroom.”

Going weather or not
Have you ever got hit by frozen rain before?
It hurts like hail.
There was a severe thunderstorm on the prairie and the wind came through with some much force it lifted the barn roof right off and settled it into the field a couple of hundred feet away, intact. The farmer asked the insurance man to come look at it and give him his money. The insurance adjuster surveyed the situation and commented. “It looks like you lost your roof.” The farmer said, “Nope it ain’t lost, it just ain’t where we want it.”
A dream about a thunderstorm means that your husband is snoring again.
So this young kid goes out to solicit donations for Jehovah’s witnesses.
It’s dark and cold and the rain is coming down in buckets. He sees a house with the lights on and runs up the driveway and knocks on the door. Half a minute later the owner opens the door and the young fellow informs him who he is.
Well don’t stand out there in the rain. Come on in and dry off and get set some heat back in your body,” the owner tells him. The kid does what he’s told and walks inside. A few minutes goes by and then the owner finally asks, “So, what can I do for you then, son?”
The young man replies, “I don’t know, I’ve never gotten this far before.”
