Let's be honest, although fascinating, hail storms rarely get scary. Well, unless they are the size of golf balls. With hurricane season upon us, we could see potential hail storms strike up across the country.
For the most part, the pieces of hail that fall from the sky are small enough that they do not feel like a threat, especially when we are undercover, like in our vehicle.
However, no matter its size, hail can be treacherous for driving and can cause damage to your vehicle, even more so while driving. So, if you ever get caught in a hailstorm the best thing to do is to pull over. If you can find an underpass to pull under safely, that is your best bet.
Hail can fall from the sky with a resounding force. Driving compounds the impact hail has with your vehicle, increasing the likeliness of a cracked windshield or broken windows. It is best to not drive while it is hailing outside. Besides the physical damage it can do to your car, it too can become dangerous to drive.
Always use caution and remember this tip if you ever get caught in a hailstorm!
