Giant Hail Strom
Prediction Getting Better
Hailstorms
are some of the most damaging type of storms that we experience. They are also some of the most expensive
storms that we encounter. Just recently having a major hailstorm pass through
North Texas has changed some peoples’ lives forever. Imagine having frozen ice balls the size of a
softball falling out of the sky on top of you at the same rate of speed that
most MLB pitchers throw. North Texas
residents have seen the effects of a bad hailstorm and the devastation that it
leaves behind and it is not pretty.
Friends and family have lost cars, windows, and even their homes. I shutter to think that a simple piece of ice
can create so much havoc on a community, not to mention that the hail hurts
when it hits you on your bare skin.
Analysis:
Patrick Kiger reports on the science of how to predict these
types of storms, but all the science and math in the world cannot be
precise. He lends a brief glimpse that
new research is going to narrow down the prediction and help scientist become
better at predicting large hailstorms.
He believes that the new research that a group from the University of
Oklahoma is doing will save lives, narrow down the precise time and strength of
the storm and help weather forecasters to be more accurate in their attempts to
inform the public.
I truly believe that storms are a part of Mother Nature’s
ability to rid the world of much needed debris.
The flip side to that is that it is also a way for people to fall victim
to insurance companies, contractors for hire for repairs and for con men to
work overtime in their fields of expertise.
I do not believe that as humans we will ever be able to predict the true
and precise arrival or strength of most hailstorms. God is sending messages in all types of forms
for us to receive and some are just a little stronger than others.
