Extreme Hail / Car Destroyed - Ogallala, NE - June 27, 1999

This video starts with myself and fellow chaser, Casey Crosbie, surveying huge hailstones from an earlier storm in Southwest Nebraska on the afternoon of June 27, 1999. A couple of hours later, I encounter an extremely violent hail storm on I-80, just west of Ogallala, Nebraska. Baseball to softball sized stones pummel my car, busting out both my windshield and back window, sending glass flying everywhere.
