It may seem a bit much to cover a car in blankets, air mattresses or pool noodles because of an incoming hail storm, but hail can do a serious amount of damage to a vehicle.

Objects the size of golf balls falling from the sky hit objects on the ground with a pretty significant amount of force.


Texans without access to a covered garage had to get extra creative ahead of a recent hail storm which was projected to drop golf-ball-sized hail on northern Texas.

Blankets, rugs, pool noodles, and even clothing were common impromptu cushions.






Some went with cardboard boxes.


Air mattresses were also a common barrier.
