My group was staying for another night when me and another guy headed out around 1pm. We were riding dry and got a text from one of our group as they hid under a porch taking pics of this. Holly **** I am glad my Street Glide was not sitting out in this, I would have been holding an air mattress and blanket over the bike while wearing my helmet!

Yea, a few of my buddies had quite a bit of damage to their campsite and vehicles. Their truck's windshield was wasted, dents everywhere, and the tanks on the bikes took a beating too.

Their tents were also shredded too. Could not believe the size of that hail, unreal!

They also said thank god they had their lids on because it would have no doubt hurt someone real bad.
