HIKING IN HAIL
Hail hurts. Even pea size hail
can knock all the bark and acorns off a strong tree. If you're out
hiking and caught in hail, seek shelter immediately.
If you're reading
this article, you are one lucky dog! How so? Because should you
find yourself in this situation, you'll immediately think, "It's
hailing! I must seek shelter!! I read it somewhere,
but who cares where! I just know that I need to seek shelter
asap!!" See? We've saved you those few seconds
that may just save your life.
Yes, this article may even save
your life. And I can assure you once again that hail hurts. Just
take a look at any vehicle that's been damaged by hail.
Long ago, there was a little car
that I had that was fairly new and a big hail storm moved through.
I grabbed a thick blanket and tried to race to the car so that I
could move it under a protective awning. In the process, I almost
got my brains beat out. And no, I didn't make it that short distance
to the car. That's how bad hail hurts. It hurts like hail.
