My 350z being battered by the hail storm - ON VIDEO!

Hello all,

 

I have promised a few of you I will upload the video I recorded when my Zed sustained £5,500 worth of damage by the hail storm we experienced in Burbage/Hinckley, Leicester.

 

I was at work at the time, when the air started to feel very humid and the sky went really dark. I decided to go outside to have a look at the sky when I noticed a odd-looking cloud. I decided to take a photo of it which is below.

 

It then started thundering and lightning - not like what we normally see in the UK. It was more like a tropical storm. I decided to take a video of this as it wasn't normal. As soon as I started recording, the hail just began to fall.

 

I captured the whole storm on video.

 

Within 8 minutes, all the surrounding roads were flooded, even Arctic lorries were struggling to drive through!

 

I suggest you mute the sound, I don't think you want to hear my extremely excited voice - VERY EMBARRASSING!

 

Enjoy...

 

Photos of damage to my Zed has been posted later on in this thread.

These are photos of my Zed and colleague's cars. There were a few smashed windscreens which I did not have a chance to photo.

 

The actual damage is very difficult to see on the photos due to poor quality photos and a lot of reflection on the bodywork. You will get an idea of the damage though.
