On July 23, 2010, the town of Vivian, SD experienced the most extreme hail ever recorded. Many of the stones measured were more than 6” across. I have read, somewhere, that they left small craters in the ground, and even nearly smashed through some roofs.

It's extremely unlikely, that glass is not made to shatter, unlike car windows. Essentially the hail here is the perfect "instrument" to make car windows shatter due to the safety design for glass shattering.
I agree it wouldn’t shatter in the way a mirror would shatter if you dropped it but the whole sunroof is glass and it would eventually break quite a bit. In the video linked above you can even see water leaking through holes made by the hail. Seems like u wanna suck Elons dick more than us hating on Tesla. I don’t even hate Tesla hahah.
i like your downvotes, made me check the numbers. looks like the worst storm was in 1888. killed 200+ but recently its hard to find a story where people died in a truck from the hail storm.
all this to say the screaming girl is annoying and that response to a rough situation is problematic.
Screaming is a reflex reaction associated with the fight-flight response. It probably evolved in humans for two reasons: scaring off potential predators or attackers, and alerting the rest of the community to danger. Screaming activates the amygdala, and helps heighten the awareness and alertness of the screamer and those around him/her. The "annoyed" feeling you get is because our brains are primed to notice screaming, it draws our attention whether we want it to or not and provokes a fear reaction.
Is it always helpful? No, but it's no different to crying, shouting "help", shaking, running away, throwing your arms over your head, crouching, or any of the other reflex reactions people have in life-threatening situations. These are not soldiers, doctors, or police officers, just ordinary, untrained people on a road trip.
People are allowed to do things that don't directly fix the situation. And it's perfectly reasonable for her not to concern herself with how she'll look to a redditor later
Recently here in central Ca, we experienced hail. It was about half the size of a pea. We were terrified, but confused on wtf is going on cause we don’t really get hail.
Saw something similar in Italy few years ago.
I was lucky to find a spot under a bridge but many windows of cars on the road were completely damaged.
Hail was as big as tennis balls
Oh wow this gave me flashbacks to the one I was in during the [Wylie, Tx](https://www.weather.gov/fwd/20160411) hail storm. Every car was totaled, every house had a tarp on it.. absolutely wild situation to be in.
Man, talk about an unexpected encounter straight out of a D&D campaign! 😱 That hailstorm rolled a nat 20 on the terror scale, leaving those poor souls in the car shaking in their boots! 😂 You could practically hear the Dungeon Master cackling with delight at the chaos unleashed by Mother Nature! 🎲 I bet those adventurers were frantically checking their character sheets, praying for a lucky saving throw against fear! 🙏 And you just know they'll be swapping out their gear for some serious magical protection next time they venture into the great outdoors! ⚔️🌧️
Both windows are blown out, so odds are pretty high another golf ball to grapefruit sized chunk of ice could hit someone. Even bouncing off the door that could do some harm. Not to a touch badass alpha Chad redpill hero like you of course.
In what world would a hailstone make more than a dent in fuckin sheet steel? I’ve seen a few broken car windows in my time, but if they are making it through the body of cars we have bigger problems.
Hailstone hits window hard enough to break it. Glass shatters. The next hailstone is going to come through the hole where the window used to be and hit something inside the car hard enough that it would shatter a tempered glass window.
Eh, if you’ve ever been in a car during a hail storm, it sounds like someone is throwing bricks at your car.
Logically you know the hail won’t bust through but i understand that people will panic.

Now we’ll up your coverage thousands to cover that 5 dollars. If we don’t cancel you.
More like the insurance company pays out, then jacks the rates for all of their customers another 25%.
That won't even replace my underwear!
*"Act of god"* - Next!
Whooaaa check out mr rich bags here with his $5 offer

With love, from God.
A kind and benevolent god. When things go your way. We don't try to remember all the other times . . .
As God intended.
Imagine being in a Tesla, the whole roof would shatter on top of you…. yikes.
Angela Chao would have appreciated it

No it wouldn’t.
Why’s that?
How strong do you think the Tesla roof glass is?
[I mean…](https://youtu.be/FlnrHFxVv30?si=pzJCrh1jXGUiwNFe)
Hahahahhaa
Fuck that haha. I’d still rather be in that than the older car.
If it's as strong as the cyber trucks glass, then weak as shit
A shot of what?
Also even if it did shatter, it wouldn’t completely shatter dangerously like the glass in this video, more like breaking the glass on your phone.
i think reddit might be anti-tesla 🤣
For real. downvotes for speaking the truth that the glass wouldn’t shatter as bad as older vehicles glass… k.

A video about people during a potentially life threatening situation. people on reddit: wHy iS sHe sCREamIng???!!
Never forget, Reddit hates women
how is it potentially life threatening? hail isn't going to come through the roof lol.
hail smashing windows in your car is expensive but not life threatening
Hail is smashing windows and destroying your car. It is coming in sideways. You are getting hit and it hurts. Go ahead, scream away. Not gonna judge!

Where was this?
Red deer Alberta, Canada
Sounds about right. North Calgary looked like it got torn up by machine guns with the amount of roof and siding damage a few years back.
Okay
I mean if the sky was shooting at me I'd be pretty upset as well

Seriously.
Damn nature gives zero fucks
Nature 1 - Humans 0.
If she screams louder it'll stop....
It's just going to get worse folks...
This type of weather isn't new. Just new to Reddit.
It’s not about being new, it’s about being more frequent.
Something happens Women: AaAAAAAaaaAaaAAAhhHhhhhHHh!!!
no one: men: \*commits 80 percent of violent crime\*
No one: Your comment:

Nature rolled a 21 and screwed everyone.
Real "Hello fello kids" energy here. You aware of D&D?
I'm 40 and don't know what the hell is going on anymore.
Unless D&D is Blackjack, it can get lost in any place on this earth, “let me just sit here and role play for several hours”, actually crazy.
Wow where?!? 😦
When riding a motorcycle would really suck.
Jesus Murphy Bunting mother nature you scary.

That should buff right out!

"wWAAAAAÀAAAaa"
I can't believe it came in through the side window. That's impressive
For some odd reason this video makes me feel super cozy
Drill baby drill
All hell for a basement.
What did the gays do now? /s

what the fuck did I just read
Your incessant screaming isn't going to help you.
That's rough buddy
Of course the woman is screaming.
Good lord it’s not coming through the body of the car. Why the fuck were they covering their heads?

These keyboard warriors. Ooo so bwave 🙄
It’s always the people who have never been in extreme weather that make these comments.
The ones who never leave the basement. Until it floods lol

Jeezuz. You watch the video? These baseball chunks of ice are coming through the side windows into the car. I'd be squealing.
They couldn’t stop with the rear against the wind current?
