Monster hail pummels Colorado zoo
- 6 years ago
Monster hail pummeled the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs, Colorado, on August 6.
In the video, people are seen running for cover as the massive hail bangs loudly against the roof of a building in the zoo.
Later in the video, a woman is seen holding a piece of hail that looks nearly like the size of a baseball, while a road through the zoo turns into a river of hail.
After the hail storm ends, the filmer discovers the windshield of his rental car has been completely smashed.
“My family and I were enjoying a great day at the zoo and were watching the storm off in the distance to the north,” the filmer said. “We just made our way to the gift shop when the skies turned dark and the wind picked up and the air became cool.”
“At this time, a zoo employee ran outside and shouted ‘get everyone inside’ multiple times,” the filmer continued. “The hail started fast and heavy.”
