Wow, just wow

The hailstorm in Denver last June caused $321 million in damage.

It wiped out the majority of the hire cars in the area (just had their summer convertibles delivered) and a whole load of planes got hit.

We were there in the August and there were still no hire cars available for hire when we got there.

Really surprised the global worming cretins aren't all over this one.

So that's a yes?

I wonder what his elderly German lady had to say about that.

You mean the cretins who deny anything out of the ordinary is happening with the climate?

They're careful to avoid threads like this.

Denver has always had issues with hail storms - it's one of the worst places in the world for them. Every year, they expect at least four which cause over $25 million in insured damages.

In today's money, the worst one did over $1 billion in damages.

We used to get some big ones in Munich. I got caught out in one once and ended up with a lovely welt on my head and a completely ruined pair of waterproof shoes after they filled up with the rainwater that was running down my legs.

Yes, before 1979 when the satellites first showed the global temperature had increased 0.00000000001 deg c, there were no weather events.

You sure that was rainwater?

[Platypus]

it was starting to rain, and there was some thunder and lightening going on.

As we sat in this bar with the doors open looking out on the square, the rain started coming down hard

You'll have caught your death of cold
